    It’s no secret that the wines and cuisines of France have been regarded among the world’s finest since time immemorial. Nowhere is this legacy of excellence more entrenched than along the banks of the Rhône. After whetting your appetite with a pre-cruise stay in Lausanne, cruise the Rhône and Saône with stops in the culinary enclaves and wine regions of Lyon, Burgundy and Provence, sampling all the finest along the way.
    Explore Lausanne’s Chillon Castle and sample fine Swiss wines within its historic walls
    Sample your way through Lyon’s market halls and taste a curated selection of Burgundy wines
    Explore medieval Brancion and stroll the gardens of the Château de Cormatin
    In the French Alps enclave of Annecy, sit down to a traditional Savoyard lunch at a mountain farm
    A classic Land Rover transports you through the vineyards of Beaujolais to meet the locals and gather for a winemaker’s lunch
    Ride a vintage Citroën 2CV through the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, stopping for photos and tastings along the way
