These four niche Wine Voyages take place from September 20 through November 8, 2014, visiting the most exclusive harbors in Italy, Spain and Portugal’s renowned wine country.
Each voyage will offer heightened experiences for beginners and veteran wine connoisseurs with itineraries that have been expertly developed by SeaDream’s Wine Director, Erica Landin, one of Sweden’s most internationally recognized wine writers.
