Foodies bored with just chilling on the beach during a Caribbean vacation have another option: to learn the art of Caribbean cooking. When the trip is long over, you’ll still have recipes at home to bring back those island memories.

Caribbean Culinary Tours focuses on hands-on cooking classes, mixed with activities such as spa visits, fishing, sailing and beach picnics. Chef Freda Gore offers 7-day tour packages on Antigua, Barbados and St. Lucia, with rates including your stay in an island villa, all meals and cocktails, cooking instruction, copies of recipes, airport transfers and gifts (like a logo apron and tote bag). Tours cost $3,999 per person for double occupancy.
Don’t want to spend an entire week cooking? There are also 4-day tours (Thurs. to Sun.) with rates starting at $1,099 per person. And if you’re looking for a ladies’ escape, Caribbean Culinary Tours offers a weeklong Women’s Retreat in early January to St. Lucia.
