Wineries That Have Sailed With Us
People who share a love of wine enjoy traveling together. These trips are so successful that most of our winery partners return year after year to explore new itineraries, and their groups often grow as returning guests invite friends and fellow wine lovers. Some have even expanded into a World of Wine Travel Club for their members, creating opportunities to travel together beyond a single sailing.

Escort Your Own Winery Group—or Host the Sailing
Choose the opportunity that best fits your winery, wine club and customer community. Most wineries begin by escorting their own group aboard an established Celebration of Wine sailing.
1. Escort Your Own Winery Group
Open to wineries of all sizes. Bring your customers or wine-club members aboard a Celebration of Wine sailing hosted by another winery or wine professional. Your group receives discounted rates, additional amenities and complimentary voyage fare for two with a minimum of 10 double-occupancy staterooms. You enjoy the journey with your group without providing the ship-wide wine program.
2. Host the Celebration of Wine Sailing
Your winery becomes the official Wine Host for the entire ship and is featured in AmaWaterways’ national advertising. Your wines are highlighted for all guests onboard. You provide two educational lectures, lead a wine tasting and participate in a wine-pairing dinner featuring your wines. AmaWaterways purchases your wine and arranges shipment to the ship.

Winery Group Wine Cruise FAQs
What is a wine cruise for wineries or wine clubs?
It is a winery group cruise or wine club cruise built around an AmaWaterways European river itinerary, with wine-focused experiences, a shared community, and professional group-travel support.
How many guests do we need?
For an eligible escorted sailing, 10 paid couples may unlock two complimentary voyage-fare credits. The separate AmaWaterways Wine Host program typically requires a larger audience and is subject to AmaWaterways vetting and current terms.
What does WineCruise.com handle?
We provide a custom event webpage, online booking, tasting-room posters and flyers, ready-to-share social posts and graphics, Facebook Event promotion, reservations, guest questions, and travel support. You spread the word.
What is the difference between escorting and hosting?
An escorted group travels with its winery or wine-club leader and may qualify for the two voyage-fare credits. An official Wine Host is separately vetted by AmaWaterways and may receive additional benefits while providing onboard wine programming.
Do our guests need to be wine experts?
No. The experience is designed for wine lovers, friends, and traveling companions. Guests can enjoy food, culture, sightseeing, wellness activities, and relaxed time together.
