“We are doing another Wine Cruise with AmaWaterways – to Bordeaux! To me, Bordeaux is the Mecca – the heartland of the wine world. A week floating the Garonne visiting the storied chateau’s while enjoying all the good food and drink AMA is known for is just too good for us to pass up! My good friend Sam Pillsbury will be co-hosting the cruise, and he and I will bring all kinds of great wines along for the tastings and classes we’ll be hosting. So, please consider joining us. We’d be honored to have you, and confident that you’ll have the time of your life. Cheers!” – Eric Glomski, Page Springs Cellars & AZ Stronghold As soon as guests step aboard their luxurious ship, the palatepleasing adventure begins.

even a specialty restaurant on board called The Chef ’s Table, where the chefs craft an exquisite tasting menu right in front guests. It comes as no surprise to learn that AmaWaterways has been inducted into the prestig¬¬ious French culinary organization, La Châine des Rôtisseurs. Each morning begins brilliantly with a splash of sparkling wine and familiar and foreign specialties from the breakfast buffet. Afterwards, you will be treated to a full plate of exclusive shore excursions so you can see famous sights while savoring local traditions. Dabble in fine wines when visiting Europe’s illustrious vineyard-covered landscapes – like the Wachau Valley in Austria and Bordeaux, France – and indulge in tastings and conversations with the owners of private cellars. Guests also visit a number of wineries, where vintners and growers will talk about the winemaking process, and offer a taste of some special varieties, too. And during free time, guests can explore local restaurants on their own and swirl glasses above delectable, authentic dishes. If you have an appreciation for fine wines and foods, and wish to experience European culture in a unique way, then an AmaWaterways Wine Cruise is the trip you’ve been dreaming about.
