Join us for this special Yuletide tour, where the varied topography of the ancient lands of the Welsh and English borders take on a whole new look when Jack Frost touches everything with winter magic. Log fires and festive fayre will bring an enticing magic to the interiors of the private country houses and historic estates that we’ll visit. There will be scenes that inspired Charles Dickens, a Christmas wine tasting at a 200-year-old wine merchant, a visit from carolers, a Christmas fair, and divine accommodation at Weston Park, one of England’s grandest country houses!

Splendors of Saxony: The Architectural Heritage of Leipzig, Meissen & Dresden
June 9 - 16, 2025
Join us for an unforgettable week in Saxony, the cultural heart of Germany. We’ll begin in vibrant Leipzig, the city where Mendelsohn, Bach, and Wagner all lived. In Meissen we’ll visit the oldest porcelain factory in Europe, while in Dresden (“Florence on the Elbe”) we’ll see breathtaking art, including the treasures of the Green Vault. All of this amazing culture will be topped off with luxury accommodation at two of Germany’s finest hotels: the Steigenberger Icon Grandhotel Handelshof in Leipzig and the Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski in Dresden.
When winter beckons and Christmas is just around the corner, what could be better than spending time in England, the country that virtually invented Christmas! For our 2025 tour we’ll be based at Knowsley Hall, the enormous Lancashire country house that has been home to the Stanley family since 1385. Here we will be the only guests of our hosts, Edward and Caroline Stanley, the 19th Earl and Countess of Derby, whose great house will be glistening with Christmas set within an unparalleled collection of art. From Knowsley we’ll venture to Liverpool to see Impressionist paintings, ancient Roman sculpture, and the world’s finest Wedgwood in some of the best museums in Britain.
