Burgundy and Provence—synonymous with beautiful scenery and fine wines. And on this special departure of our Flavors of Burgundy & Provence vacation we’ve added many extra elements to delight the wine lover! While your onboard crew pampers you, a distinguished wine authority will offer instruction on how to differentiate between a truly great, an average, and an everyday “table wine” and also will describe how various grape varieties are cultivated. Special wine tastings will show you what to look for in a good wine—from color and bouquet to “legs” and finish. Visit the Burgundy area, home to the popular varietals chardonnay and pinot noir and learn about the strict tradition of the Beaujolais Nouveau. A special French dinner, for which each wine has been carefully chosen to complement the dish, will teach you the rules of food and wine pairing, and for the chocolate lover, how about a wine and chocolate pairing experience? An adventure Bacchus himself would enjoy!
