CHARLESTON: A LONG WEEKEND IN THE LOWCOUNTRY

Discover the magic of South Carolina as we lead you on a five-night jaunt around Charleston. Rich in food, history, art and nature – around every corner Charleston has a story to discover. From horse-drawn carriages to sunset heli rides, touring ornate colonial mansions to spotting dolphins in wild waterways, and with enough gastronomic gems to fulfil every gourmand’s dreams: prepare to lose yourself in the tales of this storied southern belle.

THE STORY OF CHARLESTON’S HISTORY

Steeped in rich and irreplaceable heritage, there’s no greater story in Charleston than the one history tells. As soon as you land we’ll have you chauffeured to your suite at your gorgeous hotel, Charleston Place, itself a piece of living history filled with artefacts and stories. After some post-flight downtime, you’re ready to immerse yourself in the city’s charm with a private tour of Charleston’s cobblestone streets. Gaze upon the many spired churches, pretty pastel-coloured buildings, and sun-drenched battery—where the first shots of the civil war were fired—before heading to the Nathaniel Russel House Museum, one of America’s most important and exquisite neoclassical dwellings. Everywhere you step, you’ll be captivated by the diverse architecture that tells the tale of the city’s past.

As dusk falls, your own story is only just beginning. Indulge in classic Southern dishes at Circa 1886. Housed on the grounds of the historic Wentworth Mansion, you’ll feel like you’ve entered an elegant bygone era as you dine. After, take a horse-drawn ride along Charleston’s picturesque waterfront at night, the year-round warm air keeping you snug, accompanied by the scent of azaleas and jasmine. The perfect happily ever after.
