Bennett Lane Winery embarks on their 2nd Food & Wine Trails adventure

Guests of Bennett Lane Winery’s 2022 Mediterranean cruise were so enamored with the program that it begged the question “where are we going next”?  We are pleased to offer friends and fans of the winery their next adventure – SOUTH AFRICA!

Don’t miss this unforgettable opportunity in 2024 to experience the Big Five on thrilling safaris, imaginative cultural encounters, a taste of South Africa’s wine country in the Cape Winelands and much more.  The vibrant countries along the African coast to Cape Town’s Table Mountain, the many personalities and landscapes of the continent will fill you with wonder.

Exquisite Bennett Lane wines will be flowing during the many exclusive and fun events onboard Oceania Cruises’ recently refurbished Nautica hosted by Lisa, Randy and Stefanie.  And if their 2022 wine cruise is any indication, this once-in-a-lifetime South African adventure is sure to sell-out, so don’t delay, reserve your space today!
