Provence is a land of sun-drenched beaches, olive groves, lavender fields and, of course, great wines and food. Known primarily for its beautiful multihued rosés, the appellation additionally presents a varied landscape of delicious wine styles of every type --- traditional sparkling, floral-scented whites and berry-rich reds --- making this region a perfect wine stop! Having once served as maître d'hôtel of a Provençal restaurant, Richard Vayda, ICE's resident sommelier, will be your ideal guide through an evening exploring some of the unique gems of this area. Regional cheeses and other nibbles will accompany the tasting, which will include at least eight wine selections.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes.

Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
