The Wine Show co-presenter Joe Fattorini will be on-board selected sailings hosting interactive tasting experiences
Guests on-board selected Celebrity Cruises European sailings this summer have the opportunity to indulge their inner sommelier aspirations courtesy of the international TV series, The Wine Show.

The cruise line has developed a limited edition, interactive wine tasting experience in partnership with the TV series’ two presenters; Joe Fattorini and Amelia Singer.

Exclusive to Celebrity Eclipse, the tasting tour fuses film and wine to educate viewers with a specially produced film accessed via the in-room TV channel.

The wine tasting experience includes a bespoke tasting case and a collection of four specially selected, superior quality wines for guests to sample, along with a tasting mat and tasting notes.

Footage shown in the films embraces humour and features the co-stars of the series Matthew Rhys and Matthew Goode as they embark on their own vineyard adventures.

The wines available to sample in 187ml bottles are all from destinations featured by Celebrity Cruises: Garage Wine Co Old Vine Carignan, Chile; Chateau
Tanunda, Australia; Pieropan Soave Classico, Italy and Louis Jadot Pouilly Fuisse, France.
 
The in-room wine tasting experience is priced at $59 for two people.

As part of Celebrity Cruises partnership with The Wine Show, during September and October 2017 Fattorini and Singer will be on-board selected sailings and will host a series of educational interactive tasting experiences, including exclusive vineyard visits.
