2027 Summer Wine Cruise: Barcelona To Rome

Join us for an unforgettable edu-tasting adventure in June 2027 as our annual wine cruise sets sail aboard Oceania’s stunning new ship, Allura. With only 30 guests in our private group, this intimate journey blends world-class wine education with the thrill of exploring some of the most captivating destinations on earth. From vibrant coastlines to ancient cities steeped in history, this voyage offers a perfect blend of beauty, culture, and extraordinary wines you won’t find back home.

A Journey into Wine & History

For centuries, winemakers across this region have shaped traditions, cultivated heritage grapes, and created distinctive wines tied deeply to the landscape. From dramatic coastal vineyards to historic appellations, each port reveals stories in every glass. You’ll sip, learn, and explore alongside fellow wine lovers — discovering rare bottles, fascinating regions, and the unique history behind them.

Activities & Options

Master Sommelier David Glancy will lead our private group through immersive wine tastings, regional seminars, curated pairings, and experiences you can only access when traveling with David, one of 12 people in the world to have achieved the highest certifications from both the Court of Master Sommeliers and the Society of Wine Educators.

This itinerary intentionally balances planned group activities with plentiful free time so you can shape your own perfect adventure — whether that means exploring local culture, relaxing onboard, or continuing the tasting journey on your own.
