2027 China Textile Tours: Expressions of Interest Now Open

Sun, 31 May 2026 00:47:02 GMT

Expressions of Interest are now open for the 2027 China Textile Tour dates: April 10–26 and October 10–26. These exclusive, small-group journeys provide rare access to master artisans, private silk embroidery workshops, and UNESCO heritage sites, offering a refined and professional exploration of China’s deepest living craft traditions.

What are the 2027 China Textile Tour dates?

For 2027, we have curated two distinct opportunities to join our China Textile Tour :

The second opportunity occurs from 10 – 26 October 2027 . The autumn season offers a different but equally stunning backdrop, with golden hues providing a perfect setting for visiting imperial landmarks and rural courtyards. The October 2027 tour has an associated Companion Program for accompanying partners.

The spring journey takes place from 10 – 26 April 2027 , a season characterised by blooming landscapes and fresh energy in the craft villages. This is a popular season for travelling to China, as many travellers prefer the temperate spring climate for exploring outdoor heritage sites.

Both tours follow our meticulously planned itinerary, ensuring that regardless of which month you choose, you receive the same level of artisan access and luxury accommodation.

The October 2026 China Textile Tour is Fully Booked

Sat, 30 May 2026 05:18:29 GMT

The China Textile Tour scheduled for October 10–26, 2026, is now fully booked, and no further spots are available. Because we prioritise small-group intimacy and exclusive access to master artisans, capacity is strictly limited.

The October 2026 tour filled quickly

Keeping our groups small ensures we do not disrupt the delicate balance of the village environments we visit and allows for meaningful conversation between our guests and the master artisans. This level of exclusivity is why our tours are often reserved well in advance.
