A Country Christmas: Nashville & the Smokies
Nov 27 - Dec 4, 2027
Eight days of Music City glamour, Smoky Mountain scenery, and the most dazzling holiday displays in the South — with nothing for you to plan.
This trip is fully escorted from start to finish: three nights at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, wrapped in over two million holiday lights, plus reserved seats at the Grand Ole Opry, a tour of RCA Studio B, and a holiday dinner and show. From there we're on to Gatlinburg for Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas and a guided drive through the Great Smoky Mountains, before closing out in Asheville with a tour of the Biltmore Estate decorated for the holidays.
This itinerary only runs during the holiday season — it's not offered any other time of year — so it's worth putting on your radar now rather than later. I'm targeting late November/early December 2027, with exact dates and pricing confirmed soon.

The Journey
We open with three nights in Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland Resort — itself wrapped in over two million holiday lights — with a guided city tour, reserved seats at the Grand Ole Opry, a tour of RCA Studio B and the Country Music Hall of Fame, and a holiday dinner and show.
From there we head to Gatlinburg for two nights, with an evening at Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas and a full day exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, including a stop at a local moonshine distillery.
We close with two nights in Asheville, anchored by a guided tour of the Biltmore Estate decorated for the holidays, before saying goodbye over a farewell dinner. Every hotel, most meals, and every transition in between is handled for you — all you have to do is show up.
