The Orient-Express: British Pullman

This Renaissance-style château, built in 1874, is the creation of Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild. Housing some of the finest examples of French 18th century decorative arts, the manor’s furniture and porcelain collection rival New York’s Metropolitan Museum and Paris’ Louvre in terms of importance. The manor is further enhanced by a fine collection of paintings by Gainsborough, Reynolds and the Dutch masters. Delightful gardens perfect the French experience.

On arrival at Oxford station you are met by your guide who escorts you on the 45 minute coach transfer to Waddesdon Manor. Here you will be taken on a tour of the Waddesdon Manor cellars by a wine guide who explains about the Rothschild’s wine-making heritage and the contents of the 15,000 bottles stored in the vaults. The tour concludes with an opportunity to taste two wines from Rothschild family vineyards. You then have time at leisure to explore the house and grounds before the coach transfer back to Oxford where you reboard the British Pullman. A three course dinner with champagne and half a bottle of wine is served during your return journey to London.
