The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii offers guests an exotic blend of the essence of Aloha with the relaxed, tropical spirit that is Hawaii. The resort’s oli (Hawaiian song) speaks to the aromatic fragrance of laua‘e (fern) and puakenikeni (flowers), of ocean spray at Pauoa Bay and the beckoning coconut trees. You too can discover these treasures in your own space and time at the resort’s award-winning spa.

Your full-day adventure of the Big Island of Hawaii begins on the Kona coast, where you’ll be picked up from your hotel, and driven north on a scenic journey past historic Parker Ranch, which has operated as one of the largest ranches in America since 1847. As you pass through the ranching town of Waimea, watch as the landscape changes from pastures to green, tropical rainforest, as sweeping views of the Hamakua Coast start creeping into view. During a stop at Waipio Valley lookout, marvel at the way the vertical cliffs seem to explode from the green valley floor and hear the tales of how King Kamehameha was raised in this valley as a child. The adventure continues as you wind your way down the Hamakua Coast, past roadside towns with singsong names until you reach Akaka Falls and Rainbow Falls, the most dramatic waterfalls on the island. You’ll then make your way back toward sea level at Punalu’u Beach, where you’ll take a stroll on a black-sand beach where, if you’re lucky, you’ll find Hawaiian green sea turtles basking on the coast! Head next to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, before rounding the southern tip of the island, the southernmost point in America.

A local expert will teach you the secrets of making limoncello (a typical Amalfian liqueur), its chocolate version (lemonciok) and lemon cream. Sip on some fresh lemonade, delight in a lemon salad and dig in to a lemon cake!
Amalfi at dusk is definitely a romantic setting. With a warm palette of colors slowly painting the sky above the sparkling lights of the scattered hill towns, a sunset cruise will highlight all that is perfect about the Amalfi Coast. Your private boat tour will pick you up at the Praiano Port before cruising along the spectacular shoreline and stopping at evocative sights. Savor an aperitif on board while enjoying the sunset!

The beguiling energy of Madrid and the enchantment of seaside Barcelona beckon to you; these are cities that offer rich and varied histories, buzzing nightlife scenes, fascinating architecture and culinary adventures around every corner.

The charm, secrets, and gorgeous climate of Barcelona welcome you to one of Spain’s most exciting and bewitching cities, where you’ll immerse yourself in the Catalan culinary scene and discover Modernist art on a walking tour.
Few cities boast artistic pedigrees like Madrid. Francisco de Goya is one of the most renowned Spanish painters, a singular force at the end of the 18th century.

Learn about the curious food culture of Spain, and sample delicious dishes while wandering past the city’s most well-known monuments. Bring your appetite since this tour will bring you to four different food stops with drinks. To cap off your visit in Madrid, enjoy a fun, typical Flamenco show in one of the most famous spots in the capital!

A few hours to the south, Barcelona is one of the top tourist destinations in the world thanks to its great climate, history, architecture and food! But if you just want to soak up the Spanish sun, the beach is a few short miles away! Once the sun sets, stroll the Spanish streets for the city’s unabashed wild side.

In fact, no fewer than seven have been listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO! Your half-day market tour includes a culinary immersion with a chef who has experience working in Michelin-starred restaurants, and who follows the Slow Food movement, who will encourage you to slow down and savor the simple and delicious flavors at the dining table.

Experience the art de vivre in France’s celebrated Champagne region, the land of the most fabled wines, prestigious vineyards, family-run cellars, Gothic grandeur, a rich unrivaled heritage, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can discover the champagne wines by following the tourist route of the champagne wine region; visit the lighthouse Phare de Verzenay, watching over an ocean of vineyards and housing the Wine museum; stroll around the “wealthiest avenue of the world” in Epernay, where you’ll find the most prestigious champagne houses; or taste a glass of champagne at the Perching Bar, set six meters up in the trees! Visit Reims and its famous cathedral, the Palais de Tau, the Saint Rémi Basilica; go for a hike at the Parc Naturel Régional de la Montagne de Reims; visit Fossier, the famous biscuit factory; and choose between the spa or cycling!
At the gates of Reims, in the heart of the Champagne vineyards, Le Chateau de Rilly is an exceptional place that cultivates a certain art of living well and welcomes you to an old Champagne house dating back to the late eighteenth century. Ideally located between Reims and Epernay, in the heart of the Champagne vineyards, Chateau de Rilly invites you to enter a magical place where the magic of yesteryear is combined with modern comfort. You’ll be enchanted by the chateau’s charm, authenticity and exceptional natural setting overlooking the rolling vineyards, making it the ideal atmosphere in which to enjoy tranquility, comfort and refinement. This former champagne house has retained its character, story and soul from its beginnings in the 18th century, and immerses you in old-world refinement and contemporary comfort. Enjoy a tranquil stroll through the French garden, and view the water basin, boxwood wreaths and grassy flower beds.
The best way to experience the Champagne region of France is to tour the wineries and taste – what else? – the champagne! Your full-day small-group wine tours will take you from the countryside to the cities of Epernay and Reims, two of the most prominent places where champagne is produced – in fact, Epernay is internationally known as the “Capital of Champagne!” Epernay’s stunning main street showcases opulent mansions housing the most distinguished champagne houses, and underground in nearly 70 miles of subterranean cellars there are more than 200 million bottles of champagne being aged! Reims shares the honor of being one of the most important centers of champagne production with Epernay, but it also boasts Gothic grandeur and Roman remains, along with several Michelin-starred restaurants.
The three-hour guided vintage bicycle tour, if you choose to take it, is the perfect way to discover all the secrets of Reims, while cycling over rolling country roads past Champagne houses that date back to the 18th century and through almost endless vineyards in this spectacular region. After your hotel pick-up, you’ll meet your guide in a lovely wine-growing village located in the middle of the Montagne de Reims, 20 minutes away from the city of Reims. Cycle through the vineyard and discover places you wouldn’t have been able to reach by car: hidden countrysides, a World War One bunker, steep vineyards and unforgettable outlooks! You’ll learn everything about the Champagne Region as you cycle and sip (though not simultaneously!) two flutes of champagne at the end of the ride.
If you’d prefer a more pampering Champagne experience, then you can enjoy relaxation and wellness at the spa during your stay at the Château Hôtel de Rilly. Refresh and rejuvenate, offer yourself a moment of peace, discover the benefits of the sauna, and delight in the healing therapy of a massage.

Enjoy ancient Florence’s most famous sites on your walking tour, on which you’ll learn about Florence throughout the centuries, as told through marvelous stories and legends. Walk in the footsteps of over 2,000 years of tumultuous history, study fabulous masterpieces, listen to medieval stories and hear about astounding historical events, and immerse yourself in the Florentine culture on a stroll with an expert English-speaking guide.

You’ll hear intriguing stories about the artists that will shed light on the meaning behind their works – muse about the mysterious and stunningly beautiful models in Botticelli’s famous Birth of Venus, and experience the flowering of Leonardo da Vinci’s genius.

Listen to stories about its amazing creation, learn about the fascinating and difficult genius that was Michelangelo, a tormented poet who died a miserly multi-millionaire, and discover where Michelangelo carved the David.
The Fonte dè Medici Cooking School is the result of a professional partnership between the Agriturismo (Farmhouse) Fonte dè Medici and the Michelin starred restaurant Osteria di Passignano.

Your cooking lesson will be followed by dinner combined with Antinori wines at the Osteria di Passignano where you will also visit the vast thousand-year old cellars that run beneath the Badia a Passignano, an ancient abbey still owned by monks of the Vallombrosan Order, where Chianti Classico Riserva D.O.C.G. is aged. The cellars are the Antinori family’s homage to the territory of Chianti Classico, a confirmation of the historic ties to the family’s place of origin. This unique Italian cellar was designed with local materials and with the maximum respect for the environment and of the Tuscan landscape. The cellars, therefore, were constructed for reasons strictly tied to the production of wine but also to give a vast public of wine lovers the opportunity to enter into direct contact with the production philosophy of the family, and offering the opportunity to see how a wine is born, from the vineyard to the bottle, and the phases of fermentation and aging.
