Were you aware that River Cruising is one of the "Greatest” ways to explore Europe? Visiting towns and villages that traditional large ships are unable to surpass. The value of a River Cruise speaks in so many facets; from the high-quality gourmet local food, elegant ships with staterooms that offer maximum views of the ever-changing country-side, the staff who goes above and beyond, treating everyone as Family, along with the included Tours hosted by Local Guides.

What else could you ask for? Well, how about a “Wine-Focused” River Cruise! One of my favorite experience ever; and not just because my Husband and I have a small Vineyard, and enjoy a glass of Wine; it is the opportunity to indulge in not only the River Cruise destination but to enjoy the Regional Wines, visit the local winery’s, participate in wine tastings and discussions “onboard”!

A “Wine Cruise” adds a unique dimension to your itinerary at no additional cost. Each Cruise will have a Special Wine Host (usually from Napa Valley, CA) onboard that will lead Wine Tastings from their stock and share their story and success with their Winery.

You will also be treated to an elite wine pairing Dinner that will allow you to delve deeper into the wonderful flavors and tastes of Europe. I so enjoyed this Dinner; and have never tasted so many exquisite wines perfectly paired with each Gourmet course. This is beyond a doubt one of the most exclusive dining experience!

If you are in the market for a new travel experience; be sure to check out our “Travel with Us” tab and review my upcoming Captivating Wine River Cruise! We will be sailing through 4 Countries, France, Germany, Netherlands, and Switzerland. You will be in awe of the vineyard-clad hills and castles, celebrating with Regional wines, along with the abundant Tours in every Port!

Whether you have a seasoned appreciation for wine, or simply enjoy a glass, what a wonderful way to “uncork” the local traditions and learn about the Region you are visiting. It truly is an amazing, creative, memorable experience that will have you booking your next Wine Cruise with The Joy of Travel!
