Wine Lover Cruises

Each one is hosted by a nationally known (that means American) winemaker.

You can try the 7th May sailing from Athens to Barcelona on Oceania Insignia, which offers the chance to sample the produce of no fewer than seven California wineries (Firestone, Foley, Lincourt, Sebastiani, Kuleto, Merus and Three Rivers ). Dave Lattin of Napa Valley will offer so me unique tasting opportunities including cabernet from the acclaimed 2005 and 2006 vintage and a tasting-tour of the Santa Rita Hills appellation, made for Foley Winery by the highly acclaimed, former Seasmoke winemaker Kris Curran.

These cruises are priced in dollars and costed from the USA including airfares. They start at $4,000 per person (two sharing) with free airfare from 20 US cities. If you want to join a cruise and aren’t in the USA , it’s claimed that this specialist cruise organiser has in the past offered extra shipboard credit to European passengers not using their airfare.
