Discover the flavours of the Rhône with Prue Leith
Join the author and entrepreneur on this delightful river cruise through the gastronomic heart of France
The Rhône is a cultural and culinary feast: delicious food and a wine-making tradition with a historical depth to match. As well as all the sights and flavours of this magnificent part of the world, you’ll enjoy a guest appearance by Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith – a woman whose life has been dedicated to great food. Prue says, ‘I can’t wait to join Good Housekeeping readers on this voyage. I’ll share tips I’ve learnt during my career, join you on a wine-tasting and answer your questions on all subjects.’
This eight-day trip will be experienced aboard one of the world’s most luxurious river cruise ships, the MS William Shakespeare, which will call at Burgundy and the Rhône Valley, as well as visiting Lyon, the Roman city of Vienne, the vineyards of Beaune, the limestone cliffs of Ardèche and Provence. Highlights include the Popes’ Palace in Avignon, the Roman town of Arles and the ancient aqueduct of Pont du Gard.
