Your journey starts in London, heading first to the White Cliffs of Dover along the coast. After taking the ferry across the English Channel to France, you'll drive through the Somme Valley and reach Paris by evening where a group dinner is included.
Begin with a guided tour of Paris to get oriented, then enjoy free time to explore on your own terms. Check out Notre-Dame Cathedral, browse designer and vintage shops, spend hours at the Louvre, or head to Montmartre for a cabaret show in the evening.
Leave Paris and visit Château Fontainebleau with its medieval architecture and formal gardens. From there, continue through scenic countryside into the Beaujolais wine region, where you'll stay at a stunning 16th-century château with a pool and newly renovated rooms. Dinner and a wine tasting are included at the château.
A full day at the château surrounded by Beaujolais vineyards. Start with optional sunrise yoga on the lawns or coffee and croissants in the courtyard. A picnic lunch with panoramic vineyard views and red wine is included, then spend the afternoon swimming or relaxing by the pool at your leisure.
Head out from Beaujolais and cross the Pyrenees Mountains into Spain. You'll arrive in Barcelona in the late afternoon and enjoy an included Spanish dinner, followed by free time to explore the city at your own pace.
Walk through Barcelona's Gothic Quarter with its narrow cobbled streets, then head to Montjuic hill for panoramic city views. The afternoon is yours — swim in the Mediterranean, discover Gaudí's distinctive architecture, or save your energy for an evening flamenco show.
Leave Barcelona and drive through French countryside dotted with lavender fields, sunflowers, and aromatic herbs. Stop in Arles for lunch and visit its ancient Roman Arena before exploring this charming Provençal town. Later, you'll settle in along the stunning French Riviera coast for the evening.
Spend the day on the French Riviera, a region famed for its lavender honey, aioli, and rosé wine — try to savour all three in one meal. An optional bike ride with Côte d'Azur views is available. In the evening, head to Monaco to see the Monte Carlo Casino and Royal Palace before returning to the coast.
Travel from the French Riviera into Italy, passing through the Liguria, Lombardia, and Veneto regions. Stop at a renowned French perfumery to learn how fragrances are crafted and create your very own signature scent. By evening, you'll arrive in Venice for your first night in this extraordinary floating city.
A full day to explore Venice at your own pace. Your group boards a private boat that navigates the canals toward the historic city center. Learn the art of gondolering, wander through the labyrinth of streets and bridges, dine at Venice's best restaurants, or simply drift through the canals on a gondola.
Leave Venice and travel toward Florence with a stop in Pisa to see the iconic Leaning Tower. Capture the classic photo and then continue to Florence, where you'll stroll along the River Arno, sample Tuscan wine, and marvel at the city's famous Duomo.
Your day in Florence blends guided discovery with authentic food experiences and free time. Walk through historic streets, browse local markets, and indulge in gelato. As evening falls, settle into a local trattoria for traditional Tuscan dishes or discover a hidden wine window bar as you continue exploring the city.
Leave Florence and drive through rustic Tuscan hillsides draped in cypress trees and golden fields. You'll arrive in the Eternal City before sunset and take in some of Rome's most iconic sights: Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and Piazza Navona.
Spend the day discovering Rome's ancient history, with a visit to the legendary Colosseum. Make espresso and people-watching a ritual, then enjoy pasta, gelato, and caprese salad at a traditional trattoria paired with a local red wine — the perfect Roman afternoon.
The tour concludes after breakfast this final morning in Rome. Take time to exchange contacts with the friends you've made throughout this remarkable journey across Europe's greatest wine regions before saying your goodbyes.
