Culinary Adventure

JUNE 6th - 11th, 2020

6 days and 5 nights

We are incredibly excited to offer our most unique cooking retreat yet. We’ve partnered with acclaimed California chef and cooking instructor, Carol Cotner Thompson, to create a food-focused cultural experience that will teach participants the fundamentals of traditional Californian cuisine while celebrating the spectacular ingredients of Colombia’s coffee region. Carol has been working closely with our in-house chef, Kevin Morales, to highlight the unique flavors and characteristics of Colombia’s produce, protein and fruits. This will be the best tasting week ever at Hacienda La Sierra – and we really, really love our food.

THE ADVENTURE

Will start in Medellin, a city famous for its perfect climate and recent cultural resurgence. Newsweek recently named it the “world’s smartest city” for how it has used technology and the arts to create vibrant communities.

The retreat then moves to Hacienda La Sierra, where it will center around four intensive hands-on cooking classes taught by acclaimed chefs Carol Cotner Thompson and Jill Chessé, from californiaculinaryretreats.com

Carol and Jill have created unforgettable cooking immersion experiences for over 20 years. Their classes will be technique driven and encourage participants to become competent and intuitive cooks. This is a unique opportunity to learn techniques paired with ingredients from a tropical wonderland.
