En-suite rooms, all ground transport, and all meals prepared by private Irish Chef showcasing local products are included in the cost of the program. The cost also includes dedicated class time with Dooner and Ramírez, and a masterclass with local Irish guest artists.
Space in the course is limited, so apply early. Application deadline is March 1.
