This tour sweeps winter-weary travelers right into spring, as we visit various artisans, explore ancient ruins, try delicious local flavors, and of course participate in hands-on cooking classes taught by Chef Susana Trilling at Rancho Aurora, home to Seasons of My Heart Cooking School. The course combines the best of Oaxaca City and the surrounding countryside to fully experience spring in Oaxaca. Dine in some of the city's finest restaurants, or some of our favorite nighttime taco stands.  Visit Monte Albán, the Ethno Botanical Garden, explore the famed Mercado de Abastos, visit local artists in the valley of Etla or mezcal makers in Matatlán and spend a day with a family of weavers and cook a pre-Hispanic meal in their home.   

As you prepare to leave chilly winter weather behind, be sure to pack your sombrero for this body-and-soul warming trip to the culinary heart of Mexico!
