Calling all French wine lovers! Saga Sapphire’s week-long
Spirit
of France cruise this summer will include tours to the wine regions of
Bordeaux and Muscadet.
Master of Wine Conal Gregory will be on board to host
tastings, talks and wine clinics, as well as leading excursions to world-famous
vineyards. Conal’s enthusiasm for French wine is contagious and passengers will
also be invited to join his lively food and wine matching
sessions.
This no-fly cruise from Dover
gives guests the perfect opportunity to bring home a
case or two of wine - and who will be able to resist a Saint-Émilion vintage after touring the pristine vineyard?
The
chic Saga Sapphire boasts a competitively-priced fine wine list to
accompany quality dishes of game, meat and fish. On this themed cruise the
executive chef will be creating special menus so guests can further immerse
themselves in French gastronomy.
As well as visiting the
wine-growing areas, passengers can get a taste of French history in
medieval Guérande, in the western Loire. This medieval town, complete with
ramparts and soaring turrets, is surrounded by miles of salt marshes where the
prized fleur de sel is panned. Á votre santé!

Price includes all meals and entertainment, afternoon tea, 24-hour room service, welcome cocktail party, unlimited tea and coffee, all gratuities, porterage, free wi-fi (subject to availability), travel insurance and cancellation cover.
