Taking a dip in the swimming pool of a French count, spending the night in a 15th century chateau, a long Dégustation lunch with the finest wines of this renowned area – when the Wayfarers commits to crafting a new walking experience, it abounds with well-researched details that allow travelers to connect most meaningfully with their destination. This summer, a trio of new walks through Burgundy & The Loire captures the very essence of this fairytale region in France.
To celebrate this new series of walks, Wayfarers is offering a $200 discount per person on its 8-day/7-night itineraries scheduled August 26 – Sept. 2 and Sept. 23 – 30.
The spellbinding walk explores the rural charm and natural beauty of the storied French countryside, unfolding in a series of leisurely walks, long lunches, relaxing before-dinner swims and extraordinary wine tastings.
Highlights include overnights at Château de Marçay, a stunning 15th century fortress (and now a luxurious hotel), and Château de la Verrerie, home of the Count Beraud de Vogue; a sail along the Loire to the charming town of Saumur and tours and wine tastings throughout the revered wine regions of Chablis, Montrachet and Sancerre. Specially priced at $3,795 per person, the walk includes all accommodations, meals, transfers, admissions, gratuities and more.
Now in its 24th year, The Wayfarers is widely considered the world’s premier purveyor of walking adventure vacations. The Wayfarers has earned a reputation for awe-inspiring experiential vacations – in 36 destinations across the globe – that capture the unique history, culture, cuisine and people who make a region worthy of a Wayfarers-led walk.
