France is the quintessential destination for good reason. When visiting charming Burgundy & Provence, you’ll find yourself enchanted by the best wines and cuisines the world has to offer.

Join your gracious and experienced wine hosts from Red Stitch Wines and Convene by DK Wine Group, for a spectacular cruise along the Rhône and Saône rivers while enjoying the region’s incomparable wine and cuisine and discovering its many treasures. Stroll the very streets of Arles made famous by Van Gogh. Visit Avignon’s majestic Palace of the Popes. Experience “Village Day” in enchanting Viviers. And for those who wish for a more active exploration of the area, you can hike the vineyards of the Rhône and pedal through Lyon, a city designed with bike riders in mind. Explore unforgettable “Burgundy & Provence” where tradition is as deeply rooted as the historic grapevines on the hills.

After your spectacular 7-night cruise, join fellow Convene & Red Stitch travelers for the local festivities during Bastille Day in Paris and explore the celebrated Champagne region with our optional 3-night post-cruise land program!
