us on board for the Riverboat’s first Spanish-themed Wine Nite, featuring six
of Spain’s most popular wine varietals and styles, and an all-you-can-eat cookout by the Riverboat culinary team.
Happening
on the al-fresco Bridge Deck (L3), the evening will feature six wine tasting
booths where you can interact with our in-house wine specialists and learn more
about the wines. Each booth comes with a recommended food pairing, cooked or
carved by our chefs right before your eyes. Experiment with different food and
wine combinations to come up with pairings that work best for yourself!
The

with Spain’s signature traditional-method sparkling wine known as Cava, and two
bright and refreshing white wines made from the native Albarino and Verdejo
grape varietals.

Moving
on to the reds, Spain has plenty of indigenous and international varietals, but

wines.
