Join host Kala MacDonald for an epic, sparkling food, wine, and wellness tour featuring some of the most stunning stops in all of France. Everything we do will be focused on community and sustainability, while we remain lapping in the comfort and luxury of our Michelin star reservations and stunning accommodations.
Whether you’ve been to France 100x or this is your first visit, get ready to experience some of the best these cities have to offer, immersing yourself in small town wandering and big city vibing. We’ll do it ALL on this curated, lux tour de France!
Base Schedule:
Day 0 — PARIS: While Paris is not a city we will explore together during this retreat, we will begin and end our tour of France in this iconic hub for ease of transport. Feel free to come early or stay late to enjoy all that Paris has to offer on your own. I’ll meet you at the gorgeous central train station for departure to Bordeaux, France, our first stay over.
Day 1-4 — BORDEAUX: Come hungry to the busy, buzzing city featuring some of the most epic tasting menus, wine, and architecture France has to offer. Please, leave extra room in your suitcase for shopping in your free time and do plan to check a bag on the way home once we hit that French pharmacy, iykyk.
Day 5-8 — SAINT-ÉMILION: Settle in for a few leisurely days filled with local biodynamic vineyard tours, UNESCO heritage site visits, and overfull glasses of wine beneath some of the starriest skies you’ve ever seen. We’ll graze heaping charcuterie boards, visit local shops, and wind down after our busy days in Bordeaux.
Day 9-12 — ANTIBES: Prepare to totally bask in relaxation in this gem of the south of France. We’ll skip right over touristy Monaco and Nice to instead enjoy a few days in this teensy, luxurious seaside haven featuring “Billionaires Bay.” Follow me through narrow cobblestone passageways as we collect provisions for daily sunset picnics on the local beach surrounded by historic architecture, insane yachts, and iconic South-of-France charm.
