Between September and November, Europe falls into autumn. Expect
to see hues of burnt orange and golden yellow throughout the cities
while you enjoy lower temperatures and fewer crowds.
This season is known for its grape harvesting. Explore the south of
France and discover charming ports, vineyards, farms and forests. Visit
Bordeaux, the country's famed wine region, witness the harvest and
taste local wines paired with French fare as you watch the autumnal
sun set.
The grape harvest season is also one of the best times to visit the
Douro Valley in Portugal, the world's oldest demarcated wine region
where the weather is always warm.

From Oktoberfest in Germany to the Chestnut Festival in Italy, there
are countless opportunities to immerse yourself in local traditions
and celebrations. Whether you're wandering through historic cities or
enjoying the tranquillity of the countryside, autumn in Europe offers
an enchanting experience.
