Cruises for wine lovers
This article for wine lovers seems to be aimed at wealthy travelers who can't take a vacation from expensive wine and has some interesting cruises mentioned:
...food-and-wine expert Fred Plotkin, author of the upcoming Wine 101 and frequent Smithsonian cruise lecturer, is also a draw. “I love experiencing these wines with Walla-Walla onions, Washington apples and local cheeses,” says Plotkin. “I want guests to return home with some dirt under their fingernails; we’ll stop off and buy a bottle of wine along the side of the road. We have the freedom to be spontaneous.” Look for Plotkin on another Smithsonian Journey, June 2007’s “Opera Tour of La Scala,” which, in addition to world-class opera, includes coffee tastings in Verona, chocolate tastings in Turin, and many pours from the Piedmont region.Posted by James Trotta at December 17, 2006 2:15 AM | TrackBack

All great suggestions. Another is Cruise West. They offer three and four day cruises out of San Francisco to the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. They do extensive tours of the various wineries in the area. The food is first rate also. Small ships, gourmet food, and world class wine. These trips sell out every year.
go to www.cruisewest.com for more info. AAA members get great discounts and amenities when they book through AAA.
