‘Regional wine specialties’

Speaking of the new Celebration of Wine River Cruise, Kristin Karst, Co-Founder and Executive Vice President of AmaWaters made a statement:

Delving into regional wine specialties throughout Europe enables our guests to gain a deeper appreciation for a country, its history, culture and people.

We have always placed a high priority on serving fine wines that are often sourced from vineyards visited by our guests during one of their many included excursions.

“With the Flavors of Burgundy itinerary, discerning guests have an opportunity to visit Lyon, ‘France’s Culinary Capital’ and discover a less visited region in France that boasts some of the most iconic vineyards and charming châteaux,” Karst continued.
