A journey to France is a dream come true for anyone serious about fine cuisine and wine. For Culinary Arts and Pastry Arts students, the dream becomes a reality with the college's unique Tour of France. As the only course of its kind in the country, the Tour of France is an eight-day gastronomic journey through the charming villages, famous vineyards, and magnificent countryside of the Champagne and Burgundy regions of France. On this culinary journey, students learn from the local chefs, winemakers, and food artisans, who lead them through fascinating tours, tastings, and meals.

Students earn 3 credits while touring France with faculty members and a guest French chef. This tuition-inclusive excursion begins in the Champagne region where students discover one of the region's luxury champagne houses. They travel to Burgundy, Dijon, Beaune, Auxerre, and conclude in Paris.

In each city, they'll enjoy a hotel breakfast and an exciting day of touring and tastings. Every afternoon there's free time set aside for shopping, dining, and discovering the special charms of France. Evenings come to a close with a wonderful meal with classmates and mentors. School should always be this incredible!
