Once everyone is settled in, listen to a short presentation on the day's featured country/region by our guest wine specialist Akimi Yeo, followed by a guided tasting sequence of 4-5 other wines. Feel free to share your thoughts along the way, and ask questions anytime along the journey.THIS VOYAGE: FRANCE (LOIRE VALLEY)Sail along the Loire in Northwestern France, and take in the awe-inspiring sights of medieval castles, fortresses, towers as well as villages and vineyards. Located in the crucial frontier demarcating Northern and Southern France, the Loire is the country’s longest river and the 17th longest in the world.In addition to being a popular historical tourist destination, the Loire Valley is also an established and celebrated wine region – or rather, a collection of several wine regions situated along its banks. In this voyage, we will be getting to know the names of these regions, learn about their signature grape varietals and wine styles, and of course taste a range of wines that attempt to give you a broad understanding of the Loire.Guy Saget Murano Cremant de Loire NVDomaine du Bois-Malinge Muscadet Serve & Maine 2015Guy Saget Vouvray 2013De Ladoucette Pouilly-Fume 2010Chateau de Montgueret Rose d’Anjou 2016Couly-Dutheil Les Barriors Bourgueil 2013As like most French wines, the labels only reflect the appellation of origin and not the grape varietal itself.
