Luxury Wine Tour of France: Champagne to Provence

Begin in Paris, France’s iconic capital. Stroll the grand boulevards, pause at café terraces, and take in views of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine. In the Latin Quarter, join a private wine-tasting session led by a local expert – a journey through France’s regions in a single evening, from Burgundy reds to sparkling Champagne.

Spend your free time exploring the Louvre, browsing small galleries, or enjoying dinner at a neighbourhood bistro. Each evening, return to your boutique hotel that makes for a calm retreat in the heart of the city.

Take the morning train south to the Loire Valley, a region of fairytale châteaux and riverside towns. Your driver will take you to your elegant countryside château in Chinon, where vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see.

Spend your days exploring the region’s highlights: the medieval Château de Chinon, with its sweeping views over the Vienne River, and the historic Bouvet Ladubay cellars beneath St Florent Abbey, where you’ll sample sparkling wines made in the traditional method. Enjoy an unhurried pace with mornings spent exploring followed by afternoons of pure leisure.

Your final chapter unfolds in Provence, home to France’s sprawling fields of lavender. Stay in a country retreat near the hilltop village of Ménerbes, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards.

Join a local truffle hunter for a morning walk through the Provençal countryside, followed by a leisurely lunch paired with regional wines. Spend an afternoon exploring Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where sun-drenched slopes and centuries of tradition produce some of France’s most expressive reds.

As evening falls, dine outdoors beneath soft light, a final toast to your journey through France’s most incredible regions.
