Join Dominic Foppoli, Clay Fritz, Allie Ketcham & Renee Graves for 10 days sailing among boutique ports and seaside villages in the Mediterranean between Rome and Barcelona. These experienced wine hosts are well versed in this part of the world and look forward to sharing some of their favorite destinations through the wine regions of Italy, France and Spain.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to sample hand selected vintages from all three wineries during private shipboard events that will include a welcome reception, seminar & tastings, everyone’s favorite – Winemaker’s Dinner – plus a casual wine hour gathering and a final farewell toast to wonderful memories and life-long friends.  And be sure to sign up for Food & Wine Trails’ optional wine-themed shore tours , where we will take you off the beaten path to some of the most sought after wineries for private tours, tastings and luncheons of local cuisine.

La Reserve by Wine Spectator offers enlightening seminars, tastings, and gourmet food pairings. Riviera also features The Culinary Center, the only hands-on cooking school at sea which features a range of cooking classes by master chefs. In the Artist Loft, talented artists-in-residence offer step-by-step instruction in everything from photography to painting to printmaking. Baristas, our signature coffee bar, serves up illy® espresso and coffee and fresh pastries made daily. Intimate spaces throughout the ship provide relaxing escapes. Spacious accommodations in every category showcase luxurious designer touches and lavish bathrooms.
