When your vacation is shaped by a personal passion — especially one as timeless as wine — the result is something unforgettable. For wine lovers with a taste for the finer things, Regent Seven Seas cruises offers a curated selection of sailings into the heart of the world’s most iconic wine regions. Think vineyard tours, château visits, and sommelier-led tastings — all wrapped in all-inclusive luxury.
Deepen Your Appreciation for Fine Wines
On the Dreams of Bordeaux sailing from Amsterdam to Barcelona, you’ll journey through landscapes defined by rows of merlot vines that stretch all the way to the medieval walls of Saint-Émilion. This sailing includes guided visits to wine châteaux and time spent at La Cité du Vin, Bordeaux’s renowned wine museum. You’ll sample wines produced through biodynamic and organic methods, gaining insight into how nature and farming come together to influence taste. At Château de La Dauphine, holistic winemaking is on full display, and you’ll come away with a new appreciation for how timing, terroir, and tradition shape each bottle.
If you choose the Epicurean Spotlight on Wine voyage from Belfast to Barcelona, you’ll be introduced to the distinctive wines of Mallorca. On this sailing, you’ll explore the legacy of Bodega Ferrer, sample rare varietals, and refine your palate through tastings of indigenous Mallorcan grapes. A visit to Tianna Negre, a family-owned winery, reveals how the island’s unique climate and soil contribute to its wine-making charm. You'll enjoy a traditional Mallorcan brunch surrounded by the vineyards and later continue your epicurean adventure in the markets and restaurants that make this island a destination for the senses.
In Portugal, the Wines of Europe sailing from Hamburg to Lisbon brings you into the heart of the Porto wine scene. A panoramic drive through the city leads to an elegant dinner featuring the city’s namesake port wines. You’ll tour the atmospheric cellars at Vila Nova de Gaia, followed by a hearty and authentic Portuguese meal in the Clérigos district, where regional reds and whites shine. This itinerary provides a meaningful look at the flavors and heritage that define Portugal’s place in the wine world.
Experiences to Savor Onboard and Ashore
Regent’s wine-centric experiences don’t stop at the shoreline. Onboard, guests can indulge in the Connoisseur Wine Lunch — a multi-course gourmet affair where the ship’s executive chef and sommelier collaborate to create a culinary journey of their own, complete with exquisite wine pairings that reflect the destinations visited.
Shoreside, Regent’s chef-led excursions immerse you in regional gastronomy. Whether you’re exploring the bustling food markets of Sanary-sur-Mer , learning to make pasta in Tuscany, or strolling olive groves in Sicily, the focus is always on authenticity. Expect cooking demos, market tours, wine tastings, and thoughtfully curated meals that celebrate Mediterranean traditions. Along the way, you'll meet everyone from Michelin-starred chefs to artisanal producers who are deeply connected to their local culinary heritage.
When Wine Becomes a Way to Connect
Wine has a way of bringing people together — across cultures, across tables, across oceans. When paired with Regent’s indulgent approach to exploration, these wine-themed voyages become more than getaways — they’re celebrations of craftsmanship, culture, and connection. Beyond personal indulgence, you’re also helping preserve local winemaking traditions and supporting small communities along the way.
