NEW ORLEANS
JANUARY 2027
After the holidays, the party is just getting started in New Orleans!
Join us for this stateside trip to the Big Easy, and enjoy the classy side of New Orleans. Our tour takes place at the very starts of the Mardi Gras season, Kings Day, with lots of celebrations but less crowds.
This itinerary takes you through the many neighborhoods of New Orleans. Hang out in French Quarter at some of the classic spots and follow us into some hidden gems you may not know about. Dance at some of the hottest jazz clubs, sip cocktails at bars and restaurants frequented by locals in the Marigny, learn about Voodoo and the spookier side of NOLA in the Garden District and at Bloody Mary's museum and shop, and get your hands dirty at a cooking class in the historic district.
There's a special energy in the air in New Orleans that just can't be denied, so let's head down south!

Spend 4 nights at the Henry Howard Hotel in the Garden District. Just steps to the streetcar, this location offers a quiet retreat in New Orleans away from the crowds, but with easy access to the French Quarter, Magazine Street, and the Marigny neighborhood for the best jazz cafes and nightlife.
Accommodations include a queen room with en-suite bath and breakfast daily. This elegantly decorated mansion filled with European and American antiques, exudes the feel of old New Orleans.
DAY 1
ARRIVAL DINNER PARTY IN NOLA
We will all meet at the hotel for check in. Once settled in, we start the trip off in style with dinner at Justine, for a French bistro dinner. (Chef and Owner, Justin Devillier also of La Petite Grocery, New Orleans is a James Beard Award winner for Best Chef South.) After dinner we are heading to one of the hottest little jazz clubs down in The Marigny.
DAY 2
THE FOOD & "SPIRITS" OF NOLA
Hop the St. Louis Street Car to the French Quarter for lunch at Mr. B's, an icon in the city with some of the best bloody marys and bbq shrimp in New Orleans. After lunch we will stop by Blood Mary's haunted museum, Voodoo shop, and seance room to take a peek at the mystical roots of the city. Back to the hotel then we are off to experience a traditional boucherie dinner at Cochon tonight.
DAY 3
COOKING CLASS & 2ND LINE PARADE
Roll up your sleeves for a hands-on southern cooking class across the river in Algiers Point, learning to make Creole and Cajun specialties. Free time in the French Quarter before going back to the hotel to prepare for tonight's fun.
Flaunt your best New Orleans look tonight! Glitters, masks, wigs (all optional of course, but you'll want to join the fun!). We will make our way to the St Louis Cathedral to catch the St. Joan of Arc Krew on their parade route, kicking off King's Day. Dinner is casual tonight. After dinner we make our own "second line parade", and bar hop on Frenchman street to dance and party at the live music venues that line the blocks. As per tradition on January 6th, it's King cake and champagne at midnight for good luck!
DAY 4 JAZZ BRUNCH AND MOSQUITO SUPPER CLUB
Walking tour of the Garden District. Catch a glimpse of celebrity's homes, haunted mansions, and learn about the architecture of this neighborhood unique to the United States. We'll wrap up our last day in New Orleans with a long standing tradition, live jazz brunch. Tonight, pre-dinner cocktails at Chloe, followed by our farewell dinner at the Mosquito Supper Club.
