On a pleasure tour with the SeaDream yachts

Taste fine wines and champagne, get to know the world's best winemakers personally and go on a truffle hunt yourself

The luxurious twin yachts of the SeaDream Yacht Club will once again set sail on exclusive wine cruises in 2018. Conceived by SeaDream wine director Ida Dønheim, connoisseurs can expect a varied program of indulgence between January and November - in the Mediterranean and, for the first time, in the Caribbean. In addition to exclusive tastings and exquisite winemaker dinners on board, SeaDreamers will also be offered suitable shore excursions: For example, an adventurous truffle hunt will take place during a seven-day trip from Rome to Nice. From October 6 to 13, the focus here is not only on fine grapes but also on this very special mushroom. The shore excursion to the famous "Castello delle Regine" will take you on an adventurous hunt for black gold in the forests of Umbria, followed by a visit to one of Italy's most famous wineries, Panizzi in Livorno. SeaDream guests can also look forward to meeting the winemakers from "Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines". The champagne tasting from "Hatt et Söner" with head winemaker Kristofer Ruscon will also be a chance to talk shop. Two "Winemaker's Dinners", accompanied by exquisite wines from the two wineries, will round off the program.
