of the high standard of cuisine that will be served during the cruise
and the accompanying wines have been specially chosen from top-notch local
vineyards.

one of the best cellars of Châteauneuf-du-Pape where we have a guided
visit followed by a wine tasting. This evening we sail to Villeneuve lès
Avignon where we will stay overnight. The wines tasted in the morning
are back on the table at dinner!
