Sailings are on the SS Legacy
UnCruise Adventures introduced an updated wine itinerary aboard the 88-passenger SS Legacy with additional departures for 2017.

Weeklong river cruises depart round-trip from Portland, Oregon, along the Columbia, Snake and Willamette rivers and explore one of the country’s most renowned wine regions.

The updated 'Rivers of Wine' itinerary adds a day of wine tasting in the Willamette Valley, an area with more than 500 wineries and known for world-class pinot noir. A visit to the Walter Clore Wine and Culinary Center was also added.

Oenophiles can tour wineries and vineyards in five leading Washington and Oregon wine regions—Walla Walla, the Columbia Gorge, Red Mountain, Columbia Valley and the Willamette Valley. A sommelier and local wine expert sail aboard the ship for a week of tastings, pairings, and presentations.

In addition, passengers are treated to an exclusive lunch at Terra Blanca Winery and Estate Vineyard and private wine production and cave tours at Archer Vineyard and Maryhill Winery.

Seven departures are scheduled between April and October.
