EPICUREAN EXPERIENCES
Premier Vineyard and Cellar Tours - One of the most delightful aspects of our Wine Cruises is visiting Europe’s unique vineyards and wineries. Whether you’re strolling through France’s 14th-century Château de Montaigne or visiting Austria’s historic and majestic Burg Clam, you’ll taste history every step of the way among storied vines.
Authentic Encounters - Connect with artisans and vintners within the same fields in which their ancestors toiled. Learn how best to pair decadent chocolate with wine; discover how olives transform into the Mediterranean’s prized nectar, olive oil; or be tempted by Austria’s famed Wachau Valley apricots.
Food and Wine Pairing, A Unique Art - Indulge in wine perfectly chosen to meld with the food on your plate and on your palate at an unforgettable dinner designed to heighten the relationship between the two. Rosemary-crusted lamb? A clear match for Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Oysters on the half shell? Try a Loire white.
Your Personal Wine Host - Our Wine Hosts are professional winery owners, winemakers, wine instructors, and certified sommeliers from renowned North American wineries. These enthusiastic individuals lead you through wine tastings, interactive discussions, and a carefully curated food and wine pairing dinner, as well as accompany you on select excursions ashore. Guided by their passion and expertise, you’ll delight in discovering the differences between New-World and Old-World wines.
