Food & Wine Tails is ecstatic to partner with winery owners Eric Luse of Eric Ross Winery and Bill Pesonen of William Gordon Winery for a 10-day cruise in the Mediterranean during the Fall of 2019.
Anyone can take a summer cruise to the Mediterranean, in fact many people do! However if the thought of long lines to get into popular sights, crowded squares, packed restaurants and not to mention the sweltering heat have kept you away, your ship has finally come in! This unique Fall wine-themed cruise avoids all the downsides to summer cruising and offers a lower price point that includes round-trip air. For these reasons, Eric & Bill have selected a November 2019 sailing from Venice to Rome, visiting 4 countries including Italy, Croatia, Albania & Greece.
Begin your journey with Food & Wine Trails optional 2-night land program in Italy’s Verona, where you will enjoy sommelier-led wine tours in the beautiful Valpolicella wine region. After a fabulous pre-program, it’s time to embark Oceania Cruises’ mid-sized 684-guest Nautica and meet your fellow “Ross & Gordon” cruisers. With each day and each new port of call you will encounter new and exciting discoveries, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the walled city of Dubrovnik, the ruins of Pompei and the Corfu’s old town where you can opt for a guided chef tour and cooking class with Oceania Cruises’ shore tour program. And speaking of shore tour programs, you don’t want to miss the tours that Food & Wine Trails has put together specifically for this group. Our guided optional tours take you off the beaten path, giving you exclusive access to hidden gems for private tastings, tours, wine-paired lunches and more!
While onboard the ship, enjoy Food & Wine Trails wine-education program that includes private-to-the-group receptions, wine tastings and the ever popular winemaker’s dinner served with exceptional hand-selected wines from the libraries of Eric Ross and William Gordon wineries.
