SeaDream I and SeaDream II will sail along the Mediterranean coastline to ports and harbors in Italy, Spain, Greece and France's renowned wine country. Each wine voyage will offer experiences for beginners and veteran oenophiles with itineraries that have been expertly curated by Dønheim.
Activities include visits to boutique vineyards, casual tastings organized throughout sailings to highlight local producers from regions visited and in-depth tastings that focus on a specific topic, grape or region led by Dønheim, the winemaker or an internationally recognized wine expert.
The Winemakers Dinner will feature top cuvees and select wines offered in earlier tastings, allowing participants to experience a proper food and wine pairing and how the wine changes character when served with food. This dinner will feature a specially crafted menu to complement the wine of the winery joining for the evening.
