Wine Appreciation

Whether you have a nose for the perfect Burgundy, or if everything you know about wine could fit in a thimbleful of Chardonnay, you’re invited to join us to sniff, swirl, and sip your way through the rolling vineyards of Europe, where the river and Rieslings flow. Cruise with a distinguished Master of Wine, enjoy onboard tastings, visit legendary cellars, and learn how to perfectly pair wines with dinner, cheeses, and chocolates. Discover the vineyards of France, cruise along the Moselle River, or sail on the Danube for vintages you’ll remember for ages to come.

Highlights

Wine Tasting
Many opportunities to try the fine wines of France - taste Burgundy wines onboard your ship, take an excursion to the Chardonnay wine area and visit the Beaujolais region. Plus a Master of Wine will travel with us and will hold lectures, tastings and will introduce you to food and wine pairing.
Tournon & Tain l’Hermitage
Beautifully nestled among vineyards, you’ll go on a guided walk of Tournon, a medieval treasure with plenty of Roman ruins and a fascinating 16th-century castle.
Melk
Visit the magnificent 11th-century Benedictine Abbey and enjoy a tasting of the Wachau Valley’s famous wines.
Dürnstein & Melk
Enjoy a local wine tasting, join a hike to Dürnstein’s castle ruins, and visit Melk’s stunning Benedictine Abbey.
Wine Tasting
Your palate will applaud as you learn what to look for in a good wine. A distinguished wine authority will teach you the ropes as you visit a wine village and attend tastings to test your newfound talent.
