Dear Friends of Viansa,
After many years, your Viansa family will be hosting another spectacular wine and food adventure at sea. I would like to personally invite you to join me on a Mediterranean cruise of a lifetime, from September 5th through September 17th, 2010, where I will share with you my passion for wine and food. We will travel from Civitavecchia (port for Rome) to Venice and eleven other intriguing destinations, for an amazing 12-day odyssey.
Your exotic Mediterranean voyage will be onboard Oceania Cruises’ Insignia. The congenial onboard atmosphere is relaxed and reminiscent of the casual elegance of a private country club, allowing you to follow your own schedule to do exactly as you please throughout the day. Tuxedos and gowns are never required and you may dine when, where and with whom you choose and enjoy the flexibility that comes from four open seating restaurants. With only 684 guests, this mid-size ship offers highly personalized service in a casual, relaxing and fun atmosphere. You will enjoy the intimacy, camaraderie and unrivaled personal service that only a ship of this size can provide.
I am excited to have the opportunity to host educational wine tastings and seminars as well as several fabulous shore excursions that will augment your experiences along the way as well as delight your palate and feed your mind. There will be a private winemaker’s dinner. One of the seminars and tastings will be a comparison of Viansa’s Italian Wines to similar local Italian Wines - bringing the best of Sonoma to Italy! This cruise promises to be a spectacular experience for all involved. Whether you are a wine novice, an aficionado or somewhere in between, there will be something for you to enjoy.
Bring your taste buds and palate. We will sip, swirl and savor some amazing wines and enjoy all the decadent sights, sounds and flavors of the Mediterranean. I hope that you will join me on this phenomenal intimate journey to see some of the most beautiful countries in Europe and meet new friends. As space is limited, I encourage you to book now and join me on this extraordinary experience that will make lifelong memories.
Cheers,
Lloyd
