Dreaming of a vacation based on food and wine? Well, start here
at La Dolce Vita where, in the south of France, we live to eat and
love our grapes! Cooking and eating are the basis of life in the
Minervois, sitting down to a meal for hours on end means preparing
the meal with love, passion and flavour!
We offer cookery courses to fit your needs and fulfill your desired
menus. While staying in Azille in a comfortable room, you can plan
a long weekend with a few friends, a weeklong cooking vacation sprinkled
with intermittent wine tasting, or enjoy a break from the tourist
day and prepare your own lunch or dinner at La Dolce Vita. Learn
to please not only your own belly, but those of your friends and
family as well.
