🍷 First stop: Veneto.

The Buglioni Valpolicella Ripasso brings ripe dark fruit, spice and richness to our Passport & Pairings: Reds of Italy lineup — and we’re pairing it with a Pork, Apple & Ricotta Involtino.

This is exactly what Passport & Pairings is designed for: tasting a w**e alongside a bite created to show you just how much the right pairing can change the experience.

Three Italian reds. Three substantial bites. One relaxed evening upstairs in our private speakeasy.

🎟️ Tickets are $39.99 through Sunday, 10/4. After that, they go up to $49.99.

📞 Call 928-302-1504 to purchase your tickets.

🍷 Sunday night was such a special evening!

We gathered with some of our Burgundy River Cruise guests to enjoy a tasting of the beautiful w**es from Lucas & Lewellen Estate Vineyards—our featured w**e host for our August 2027 sailing through Burgundy.

While we missed those who couldn’t join us, we had a wonderful time sharing great w**e, great conversation, and getting even more excited for the incredible journey ahead. Every bottle gave us a little preview of the experience we’ll enjoy together as we cruise through one of the world’s most celebrated w**e regions.

🇫🇷 There’s nothing quite like combining exceptional w**es, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable memories with wonderful people.

We can’t wait to raise a glass with everyone in Burgundy! 🥂

Have you ever wanted to confidently identify those intriguing aromas in your w**e glass? It's a skill I'm always working on, and it's absolutely learnable for anyone who loves w**e. ✨

Just recently, while savoring an Arizona red blend, I practiced identifying its evolving notes. It started with bright red fruits, then opened up to reveal layers of spice and even a touch of leather. Using tools like the Le Nez du Vin kit truly helps hone these senses, making every sip a more intentional and insightful experience.

Ready to elevate your own w**e appreciation? You can find the same kit I use to train my palate and deepen my understanding. Check the link in my bio to discover how you can start your journey to becoming a more confident w**e taster. 🍷

Rüdesheim is one of those places that makes you understand the magic of river cruising.

Cobblestone streets, vineyard-covered hills, charming cafés, local w**e, and plenty of time to wander—without having to pack and unpack every few days.

This is exactly why I love traveling Europe by river.

Save this for your future Rhine cruise, or share it with someone you’d love to explore Rüdesheim with. 🍷🚢
