Wine Tasting Aboard Seafin

About

Discover the Best of French Wines on Bastille day. Join the crew aboard Seafin as they taste wines from the very best vineyards in France. Taste your way around the major wine regions of France – Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Loire Valley, the Rhone Valley, Alsace, Languedoc & Roussillon – and sample the fascinating range and variety of delicious wines which they produce.

Starting in the Loire with lively aromatic Sauvignon Blanc, head northeast to the sunniest place in France (yes Alsace!) where you'll taste some excellent Riesling or Gerwurztraminer and then south through Burgundy for delicious Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Continuing south reach the Rhone valley where you will try a fabulous Syrah. You'll obviously travel to Bordeaux and taste one of the best Cabernet/Merlot blends on the planet. Finally journey into the soft warm climate of the Mediterranean to taste wonderful ripe wines from the Languedoc and Rousillon – currently producing some of the most interesting and best value wines in France, including that of Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt (THE only Rose wine in the World to make it to the 100 Best Wines of 2014!). Come and understand why even Hollywood loves French wines!

The French are guilty of "drinking the best and exporting the rest", but thanks to Cecile's expertise and very own wine cellar, you will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to taste "the real deal" and discover what the fuss about great French wines is finally all about.

It will be a hugely entertaining evening celebrating Bastille Day altogether! You will also pick up a fascinating array of information and wine tips along the way. A great way of learning more about French wine and discovering the variety and value is on offer from the Grande Dame of the wine world.
