Mediterranean Wine Cruise
September 12th-23rd, 2012
Hosted by James Cluer MW
The weather is beautiful, the harvest is underway, and the tourists have gone. You, on the other hand, are about to visit 10 of the most stunning towns and cities on the Italian and French Rivieras aboard a small luxury cruise line whilst sipping some delicious wines.

In select ports you'll be able to take optional land excursions to visit wineries in both classic and undiscovered regions.
- Tuscany to visit the classic icons: Ornellaia and Tua Rita
- Sorrento and Sicily to visit and taste unheard of indigenous varieties
- Saint-Tropez to visit a characterful southern French winery
What's more, on the day you spend at sea, you'll enjoy two tutored tastings of classic Italian wines and Bordeaux crus, led by James Cluer.
Cabin prices for this 11 day adventure begin at $3324 per person based on double occupancy.
I've organized this tour in partnership with my friend Larry Martin's company, Food & Wine Trials. This is the leading operator of wine cruise travel in North America. You can learn all about the cruise, the itinerary, all of the cabin and suite options, by visiting his website at www.foodandwinetrails.com/james_cluer
I am excited to visit so many beautiful ports without ever having to unpack. I'm looking forward to going to some unusual wineries in southern Italy to taste the most bizarre wines imaginable. I know the wineries in Tuscany will be outstanding, and I love the south of France. And it'll be totally relaxing with more free time than you'll know what to do with.
So come and join me on this cruise. Bring your friends and family. The land excursions to wineries are optional extras, and so this tour will also appeal to everyone - and not just people who are wine fanatics. Space is limited so don't delay.
