Priced at $275 per person, the certification is limited to 24 guests per sailing and can be booked in advance. Our partnership with American Wine School gives guests a unique opportunity to deepen their appreciation of wine while traveling the world and even return home with an internationally recognized qualification inspired by their time with us.” In addition to the certification course, guests will enjoy destination-inspired wine programming, including curated tastings and food and wine pairing experiences.
