“Bordeaux, Paris, & The Seine” – A French Culinary Adventure with Chef Jacques
April 14th – April 24th, 2026
Exciting News! A New Culinary Adventure with Chef Jacques in Bordeaux and Along the Seine Awaits!
We’re thrilled to announce another unforgettable journey through the heart of France—an experience where history, culture, and the joy of fine dining come together in perfect harmony.
Your adventure begins in Bordeaux, the world’s most celebrated wine region. Picture yourself strolling through 18th-century boulevards, sipping exceptional wines at a family-owned château, and indulging in gourmet delights on a foodie walking tour. Discover Bordeaux’s Roman heritage and artistic treasures—all with Chef Jacques as your culinary guide.
Chef Jacques and I are delighted to share details of our upcoming Culinary Cruise to Bordeaux and the Seine, departing in April 2026. To kick off the festivities, we’re hosting an optional “Welcome to Bordeaux” dinner on April 13th, 2026, at a charming restaurant or château—details to come!
The journey officially begins on April 14th at the Intercontinental Bordeaux, in partnership with our friends at Tauck. Joining us is wine expert Abbey Fox from Wine Bow, who will guide us through the exceptional wines of the region.
We’ll be sailing aboard a brand-new ship, with a rich itinerary featuring:
- Chef Jacques’ exclusive cooking demonstrations
- Wine tastings and onboard winemakers
- Pop-up tastings of regional specialties
- Visits to Chef Jacques’ favorite châteaux and winemaker friends
- A scenic boat ride and luncheon in Paris
- An optional luncheon in Rouen, hosted by Chef Jacques and the owner of France’s oldest continuously operating inn—where Julia Child first fell in love with French cuisine!
Vive la France!
To those already signed up—merci! Get ready for 10 days of culinary delights, cultural exploration, and unforgettable memories. And yes, there will be wine aboard!
A few exceptional cabins remain, and we’d love for you to join us this spring in Bordeaux, Paris, and along the Seine. Rumor has it, drums may be on board for Chef Jacques, along with many surprise culinary experiences you’ve come to expect and love.
