River cruising offers the guests the opportunity to visit more than one city in Europe during one trip. All the river cruise lines today have wine themed cruises suited for wine enthusiasts. The all-time favorite river cruise lines Am Waterways has so many wine cruises that one can’t even count them; these are available in various places such as France, Spain, Portugal, and so on.

Every cruise line has various inclusions on wine vacations. Information about Am Waterways wine cruises include; presence of an oenologist, wine tasting sessions, vineyard visits, wine cellar tours, fine meals and wine trails. In fact, it’s hard to imagine anything that would be omitted on a wine-themed river cruise to make it the perfect wine vacation.

2) Bike Tour in Mendoza, Argentina

For those that love wines and are also fit enthusiasts, a bike tour in the vineyards of Mendoza in Argentina would be an ideal vacation. There are self- guided bicycle tours and there are the escorted bicycle tours. Mendoza is not a city, but a province of Argentina which means there are numerous wine regions and numerous wine tour companies, therefore, numerous bike tour possibilities. Encounter a fixed set tour or create a special plan for your group of people!

Portugal is famous for the sweet red wine called Port. This wine is from the northern part of the country and in particular they are from the Douro Valley.

You can take a 7-day individual tour in Porto and Douro or take a Douro River cruise, or take the Port Wine Cellar tours depending on the extent of the period you have in taste wines. The options are endless! Try also to spend some time on going to a walk in Porto. It’s a beautiful coastal town which boasts of paintings of many colors, bridges which are as old as the towns itself and cobble stones roads.

5) Walt Disney World International Food & Wine Festival

If you do not want to go too far but want the best of wines from around the world the Walt Disney World International Food & Wine Festival will not disappoint you.
