Hey there, fabulous wine aficionados and chateau dreamers! 🍇✨ Get ready to pop the cork on an adventure that's literally bottled with elegance and a splash of sass - it's time for the "Bougie Wine & Women Take Over the Loire Valley" trip!
Imagine this: Seven days of swirling your glass through the crème de la crème of vineyards, where the grapes are as sophisticated as your palate. This isn't just sipping – it's an epic wine tale waiting to be told! 🍷👑
We're staying not in one but TWO royal-worthy chateaus because why not live the fairytale? Revel in rooms where you can almost hear the echoes of historical banquets—now it's our turn to feast and clink glasses. 🏰🥂
Each day will unfold with new sips and sights: wine tastings that'll make your tastebuds tango, tours that tell the tales of vintages past, and food with wine pairings that are like the most divine dates you've ever had! It's the ultimate blend—just like our favorite Cabernet Franc.🍷🧀
So grab your sunnies and your besties - we're about to stomp grapes (well, not literally) and conquer the Loire like the queens we are. Are you ready to take over the valley with style, laughter, and maybe a little buzz? Of course you are! 😎👯♀️ Let the countdown to the chicest, tipsiest week of your life begin! 🚗💨 #bougiewinetribe #WineNot
Daily Breakfasts included - lunches and dinners will be included based on the planned activities.
REQUIRED
Any meals that aren't being included in our planned activities
If you decided to arrive to France before the trip or remain afterwards we are not including the cost of your extended stay
Spend a day in the City of Lights! I know how hard it can be to travel internationally and hit the ground running. I've added this first day, so you have an entire day to land in Paris, acclimate to France, and meet up with the group!
Details of where we will be staying in Paris will be shared at a later date
Heyyy, wine lovers and chateau chasers! 🍷🏰 Guess what? We're headed to the oh-so-stunning city of Orleans, France, for a slice (or glass 😉) of that chic life in the Loire Valley! 🇫🇷✨ Get ready to twirl in the vineyards because our Bougie Wine Tribe trip turns the FUN dial to a hundred!
For three fabulous days, we'll be living our best lives, exploring the fairy-tale chateaus (Cinderella, who?), basking in the jaw-dropping landscape, and sipping on the wine that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance. 🍇💃
Orleans is not just about the Joan of Arc vibes (total badass, btw); it's where history meets modern charm, winding streets lead to breathtaking views, and every corner has a story itching to be told. And let’s not forget the wine! From crisp, refreshing whites to bold, beautiful reds, we're going to taste the best of what the Loire Valley offers - with cheese boards that are basically art, of course. 🧀🎨
So, pack your fanciest hat and your most comfortable shoes because we'll be vineyard hopping, chateau gawking, and creating memories that'll last way longer than our Snapchat stories. 📸👒
Let’s raise a glass to adventure, friendship, and the undeniable allure of French wine. Or as the locals say, "À notre santé!" 🥂💖 See you in Orleans, you gorgeous globe-trotters! The countdown begins... now! ⏰🎉
Our accommodation: Chateau de Noizay
Next stop on our Bougie Wine Tribe extravaganza? The utterly charming and irresistibly chic city of Tours, France! 🇫🇷🍾 Get ready to pop some bottles because this is where our wine dreams become a reality!
Picture this: Three dazzling days swirling, sniffing, and sipping through some of the Loire Valley's most iconic chateaus. It's like stepping into a real-life fairytale but with way better drinks. 😉🏰
Tours is the heartthrob of the Loire Valley, with its stunning gardens, historic vibes, and streets filled with stories whispering through the cobblestones. And the wine? Oh, hunny, you're in for a treat! We're talking about a symphony of flavors that will serenade your taste buds like a love song from a French crooner. 🍇🎶
But it's not all sips and swirls; we will immerse ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes that have inspired artists for centuries. Imagine cycling (possibly) through vineyards with the wind in your hair or picnicking under the shadow of a chateau (on the itinerary) like the royals we are. 🚴♀️🍇
So grab your cutest outfits and sense of adventure because Tours is about to show us the time of our lives. Let’s make memories that will have us laughing and cheering for years to come.
To Tours, to friendship, and to the undeniable magic of French wine! 🥂💕 Let the countdown begin! See you there, my gorgeous globetrotters! The Bougie Wine Tribe is about to take Tours by storm! 🎉🍷
We will return to Paris on the morning of the 8th day (Oct 3rd) for everyone to start catching flights to return home.
Please check with me prior to booking flights to confirm that we can get you back to the airport in time for your flight
