Hi Reader,
Are you ready for my first Group Trip 2027 announcement? Because this one is going to BE EPIC!!
Mulled Wine and Medieval Old Towns: A Baltic Christmas (December 6 to 13, 2027)
Eight days, three capitals: Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius. It's just for women, I'm hosting, and it's built for the woman who has always wanted to see Europe's Christmas markets but doesn't want to plan it all herself.
I've been to Christmas markets in more than 30 cities over 6 winters in Europe.
The Baltics have been on my list the whole time, and while I'll be headed there in a few weeks to scout out a few things, I cannot wait to have you come with me!
What it's not: a rushed bus tour where you see a market from the window. It's not a hiking trip either, so you don't need to be "outdoorsy."
What it is: time to wander each city, warm up in cafes, and shop the stalls without figuring out trains and hotel check-ins by yourself.
What's on the itinerary
- Christmas markets in Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius
- A marzipan decorating workshop in Tallinn
- A cider tasting at a local apple farm on the drive to Riga
- A stop at Bauska Castle on the way to Vilnius
- Guided city tours in all three cities, plus Riga's Central Market
- 4-star hotels, a local guide for the whole trip, and all transfers between cities
- 7 breakfasts, 1 lunch, and 4 dinners, including a welcome dinner and a farewell dinner
Activity level: Exploration. Plenty of walking through old towns and on cobblestones, but nothing strenuous.
Here's what I need from you this week
If this trip sounds like you, or even maybe like you, fill out the quick interest form. It isn't a booking, and it doesn't commit you to anything. It puts you first in line when the trip opens.
Want in? Take the 2-minute Baltics survey
This survey runs through my trip partner, TrovaTrip. Two quick tips: under Preferred Destinations, choose Europe, then Estonia, and under Preferred Travel Months, tap December.
Then watch your inbox on Friday.
I have a special announcement, and the people on this list will get it before anyone else. That's when I'll share the early-bird price and the regular price, and the early-bird price won't last long.
Before you ask:
Can I come alone? Yes. That's the point. You'll arrive knowing me and leave knowing everyone else. If you want your own space, a private room add-on is available, but those rooms are limited.
Can I come with my BFF? of course you can! I can't think of a girls trip! You can even come with your mom or sister!
Do I need to be an experienced traveler? No. This trip works well for a first trip to Europe-- and excuse me but how EPIC!
Who is this trip for? Women. All women, whatever your age, background, or travel history. And if you're a military spouse stationed in Europe, I built this with you in mind. I'm one too.
Stay Curious,
Kimberly
P.S. Know a woman who gets as excited about Christmas as you do? Forward her this email. Trips like this are more fun with someone who already knows how much mulled wine you can drink.
