Overview
Journey through Champagne and Alsace on an eight-day exploration of France's countryside, where grand estates, vineyard villages, and the art of champagne making meet the pleasures of cuisine and culture.
Journey through the celebrated regions of Champagne and Alsace, where vineyard-covered hills, storybook villages, and centuries of French culture unfold at an unhurried pace. From the cobbled lanes of Kaysersberg and Colmar to the grand rows of grapes stretching across the hillsides of Reims and Épernay, discover a region shaped by artistry, history, and the enduring traditions behind some of the world's most celebrated wines.
Along the Alsatian Wine Route, experience a blend of French and German influences in timber-framed villages, family-run vineyards, and cuisine rooted in the rhythms of the countryside. Taste Rieslings born from the fertile soils of Alsace, sample Munster cheese in the valley where it's crafted, and gather around a chef's table for a private dinner overlooking the Obernai Valley. In Champagne, descend into historic chalk cellars at Taittinger, stroll through Reims beneath the Gothic grandeur of Notre-Dame Cathedral, and toast the region's legacy during a Tauck Exclusive dinner at Moët & Chandon. From vineyard picnics and elegant château gardens to grand cathedrals and intimate culinary experiences, each moment reveals the refined pleasures and rich cultural heritage of the French countryside.
