This trip is now sold out. 

Join Fr. Hathaway and Steve Weidenkopf (historian, sommelier and adjunct professor at the Christendom College Graduate School of Theology in Front Royal) to go on a Catholic History and Wine Pilgrimage to France on Nov. 5-13, 2026. Join this unique adventure to the land of saints, popes, and exquisite wine as we journey to experience the rich Catholic history and culture of France. Our tour takes us to historical sites rarely visited, including Cluny Abbey, and the Palace of the Popes. Integral to our trip is experiencing champagne cellars and iconic vineyards in Burgundy and the Rhône Valley. Friendship, fellowship, history and wine await us in France.
