So last week I attended the AWS National Conference and had a fabulous time. You’ll be hearing more about my adventure at future meetings. But the reason I’m posting this message is to make you aware of some interesting European river cruises that have a wine focus. These cruises are available at special conference pricing for a limited time. The cruises are provided by AMA Waterways.

Each of the “Wine Cruise Experience” trips feature:

Inspired food & wine pairings
Exclusive shore excursions to historic wineries and vineyards
Lectures by acclaimed wine experts
Select premium wine tastings from celebrated North American and European wineries

So for example, if Paris & Normandy are on your bucket list (it is on mine), then there is a wine cruise available this March 26, April 2 and Nov 15. So if you are interested in a wine themed river cruise, I can provide you with some additional detail.

Some of the other wine themed destinations are:

Provence & Spain
Douro River Valley
Enchanting Rhine
Romantic Danube
Melodies of the Danube

Air options are provided by chartered services from Charlotte and there are optional days associated with each tour.

Everyone please note that it is extremely important to enter the number of people who are attending the meeting described in the announcement.

So, if you are responding as a couple, please enter TWO, and so forth.

It is important for planning to have an accurate count.

Thanks.
