Why This Luxury Christmas Market Tour Is Perfect for Women Over 45

If you’ve ever dreamed of sipping mulled wine under twinkling lights in a medieval town square, this may be your year to make it happen, but without the stress of planning it yourself. This carefully curated, small-group Christmas market tour through Germany and France is designed for women 45+ who want meaningful experiences, warm connection, and refined comfort during the most magical season in Europe.

Designed for Women Who Appreciate the Details

We know what makes travel fulfilling in this season of life. You want beauty, ease, thoughtful touches, and the company of like-minded women without being herded through packed tourist traps or forced into rigid itineraries. That’s exactly what this trip delivers.

Enjoy a perfect balance of luxury and tradition, with:

  • Boutique 4-star accommodations in central locations

  • One enchanting Christmas market per day (yes—just one, to truly enjoy it)

  • Premium travel

  • A warm, German-speaking tour leader with you the entire way

What Makes This Christmas Tour Different

Instead of rushing from city to city, this journey allows you to settle in and savor. You’ll stay in Wiesbaden, Colmar, and Strasbourg each a storybook setting in its own right and visit hidden gem markets like Schloss Vollrads and Bad Homburg alongside a couple famous favorites.

Other trips may pack in 10 stops in 6 days. This one slows down, so you can:

  • Browse stalls without feeling rushed

  • Sip Glühwein beside a roaring fire

  • Take in the music, the smells, the wonder—without constantly checking the clock

Community, Not Crowds

This tour is limited to just 8 women, so you’ll never feel like part of a crowd. Many of our travelers are solo women, widowed, retired, or simply craving connection and lifelong friendships often bloom over cups of spiced wine and sparkling lights.

There’s space to explore independently, but always a cozy group to return to.

Everything’s Handled—You Just Show Up

No juggling train schedules or guessing which hotel is “really” walkable. Your itinerary, accommodations, ground transport, and select meals are all covered. We’ve even got insider tips on what to pack (and what to leave behind).

Just bring your sense of wonder and maybe a little extra suitcase room for ornaments and chocolates.
