Overview

Join fellow Rombauer Vineyards enthusiasts for an entire cruise focused on Rombauer wines!  Immerse yourself on a journey into Japan’s unique culture – celebrate a respect of order, harmony, and self-development as you embrace new technologies and celebrate ancient traditions.  Admire Tokyo’s sparkling skyline bathed in glowing pastel neon lights.  Indulge in Takamatsu’s tiny restaurants and generous portions of sizzling chicken, steaming noodle bowls and mysterious seafood pieces shrouded in delectable fried batter.  Experience the beauty of Japan’s Inland Sea and behold the beauty of UNESCO site Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest mountain, when you arrive in Shimizu.  This voyage remains one of the most highly personalized and authentic explorations of Japan’s iconic islands at the edge of the Far East.
