SeaDream sails to some of the most beautiful ports in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. Our yachts, coupled
with the enchantment of the region, make the ideal opportunity to grow your passion and knowledge of wine.

SeaDream’s Wine Voyages are designed to enhance both your culinary and yachting experience. Meet the
personalities behind some of the world’s most renowned wineries, as well as several less familiar but equally
notable vineyards and explore their flavors and history.

Exclusive wine tastings are followed by the Winemaker’s Dinner, where SeaDream’s Executive Chef’s
degustation menu is complemented with top cuvees from our visiting Winemaker. An evening unique to our Wine
Voyages is all about an unforgettable culinary experience that is incomparable to other wine cruises. Taste only
the best, exclusive and most memorable reds, whites and champagnes.

On all SeaDream voyages, bar drinks and selected wines are complimentary. Wine packages by the glass
during Winemaker’s dinner and Wine Land Adventures are offered at an additional cost. During the Wine
Voyages, a representative from the visiting winery will be present to host the scheduled wine tastings and the
winemaker’s dinner.

                  an additional cost. All Land Adventures are available to pre-book online on your designated voyage.
