Overview
Yesterday introduced you to the best bites of San Miguel de Allende, so today builds upon that culinary baseline with a hands-on cooking workshop. Once again, you'll start your day with breakfast at your hotel, before gearing up for a half-day gastronomic activity. This morning, you'll meet a local chef for a rural, ranch-style cooking workshop. Your expert chef guide will lead you step by step in the preparation of classic country dishes, which range from tortillas and spicy salsas to flavored waters and other delights. To prepare these dishes, you'll adopt signature Mexican techniques, like grilling and slow cooking, inhaling the tantalizing aromas as your meal begins to take shape. Adding to the allure, this class will occur in an outdoor kitchen, inviting you to sit down in a rural setting for your own, homemade picnic. You'll return to your hotel this afternoon, with time at leisure to further explore the city, whether by taste or self-guided tour. (Breakfast, Lunch)
