The Christmas markets of the German and French Rhineland bring a magical blend of old-world charm and festive warmth. Against the backdrop of historic cathedrals and medieval streets, visitors wander through twinkling squares filled with the aromas of roasted chestnuts, gingerbread and spiced mulled wine while choirs sing and artisans display handcrafted ornaments and gifts.

The region is also renowned for its exceptional white wines, hearty cuisine and warm hospitality, delighting visitors with specialties like tarte flambée, choucroute, and fragrant Rieslings.

Join Darren and guest guide & wine aficinado Michele Garber for a 6-day, 5-night exploration of this enchanting region, with plenty of shopping, relaxation and wine to carry you through the holiday season.
