WINE CRUISES

---

Wine "immersion" river cruises
for individuals on scheduled dates
or private groups on chartered boats

Cruise through France's best known wine regions aboard luxury barge-hotels with a group of friends or on your own, while learning about the local vintages. A group as small as four travelers can charter a boat for a week in Burgundy, Languedoc, Provence or the Loire Valley. We customize the itinerary to the interests of your group: wine classes, winery visits, tastings, excursions, etc.

Scheduled Wine Cruises in 2008:

Burgundy - Beaujolais (20)

Rhone - Provence (12)
