Tauck has opened bookings for its 2027 European land program, headlined by a new eight-day small group journey through France’s Champagne and Alsace regions and a reimagined exploration of Bordeaux and southwestern France.

A Week In… Champagne and Alsace begins in the village of Kaysersberg in Alsace with a three-night stay at Le Chambard Hotel and Spa. Guests explore the wine villages of Ribeauvillé and Colmar, visit a Munster cheese dairy and enjoy a private dinner at a chef’s home overlooking the Obernai Valley before heading to Reims for three nights at La Caserne Chanzy, a restored 18th-century military barracks. Highlights include a tour and tasting at a renowned Champagne house, a vintage car excursion through the vineyards of Épernay with a picnic lunch among the vines and an exclusive dinner at Moët and Chandon. The journey concludes at Château de Chantilly. Departures run from April through October, priced from $12,190 per person.

The reimagined Bordeaux, the Dordogne and Biarritz itinerary has been refined from 14 to 10 days, focusing on southwestern France’s most acclaimed regions. Beginning in Bordeaux with a visit to the Cité du Vin and a château dinner in the Médoc, the journey continues to the Dordogne for a private visit to Lascaux IV and the medieval village of St-Emilion before concluding in Biarritz with excursions to Basque country and the historic fishing village of St-Jean-de-Luz. Priced from $14,390 per person.

Tauck will offer 44 European land journeys in 2027, including seven family itineraries, with small group departures averaging 24 guests.
