Welcome to Ciao Laura Culinary Vacations in Italy!

Let the flavors of Italy dance in your mouth and sing in your heart™
on a Ciao Laura Cooking Vacation in Italy!

Ciao Laura offers one-day cooking lessons, guided walking tours, winery tours, boat tours, market tours, excursions to artisan cheese and olive oil producers, limoncello tastings and Italian cooking vacations including accommodations and daily excursions throughout Italy. Customized programs available on request. We cater to all levels of travel from budget to luxury travel and everything in between.

Neapolitan Pizza

Our courses offer something for everyone and they are geared for anyone who wants to embrace the Italian culture, if for only just a day. The beauty of our programs is that you don't need to be a professional chef or speak Italian to be fully immersed in the heart of the culture - it's cuisine.

Although the term culinary vacation may sound like an oxymoron, it's truly the secret code phrase for pure decadent fun! Our culinary vacations allow travelers ample time in the kitchen, as well as time for daily side excursions to local historical landmarks, fresh food artisans and open-air markets. At no time are you pressured to do any more than you want to, after all, it is your VACATION!

Imagine spending your holiday learning how to make a true "Neapolitan Pizza," visiting the ruins of Pompeii, gawking at the magnitude of the Colosseum in Rome, climbing the Leaning Tower of Pisa, experiencing the enormity of Michelangelo's David in Florence and enjoying shopping and sightseeing on the world famous Isle of Capri.

There is so much to do and see in Italy, so let's get started, shall we? We have listed a number of our COOKING VACATION PROGRAMS, we have lots to offer - and we think you'll like what you see!

We invite you to come in and take a look at our offerings - and then get ready to indulge yourself in La Dolce Vita; all you need is a passport and a passion for the sweet life and we'll do the rest!
