Culinary/Food Wine Tasting

Overview

Your guide welcomes you at your cruise pier and you will board your luxury vehicle. Settle in as you leave the port, ready to discover wonderful tastings and incredible scenery! There is an emergence of small craft breweries and spirit producers who are challenging the wine industry. As wonderful as it is to sip a glass of wine, sometimes you need a change. This excursion will take you out of the path of the crowds and bring you to a beautiful peninsula of rolling hills with water views everywhere. It is here, in the lush area just a short ride from Victoria, that you will have a chance to talk to your private chauffeur about life in this lovely country and what they drink at night.

We cannot promise where you will stop but knowing that the distilling market is booming with new rules and restrictions allowing the small craft breweries some allowance in production, they will be the best. There are at least 8 on the island labeled craft distillers and more to come. The palate of consumers demand better beer, wine and cocktails and that leads to more creative tastes.

On your tour, you will stop at 3 local, artisanal, and award-winning establishments to educate your palate to these special brews. Lunch is included in one of your stops to help soak up the alcohol and cleanse your brain. It is a fun and lively experience to share with your friends, as this tour is always private.
