Across the Atlantic The SeaDream Wine Education program takes place October 27th - November 8th 2014 aboard SeaDream II sailing from Lisbon to San Juan. This structured 12 days wine education will lift both begin- ners and intermediate wine lovers to the next level. The voyage will commence in Lisbon with a dinner at Portugal’s oldest table-wine winery, with the 7th generation owner. After this, we are joined by international wine experts and start our educational program aboard. Special guest winemaker Dorli Muhr will join the group between Lisbon and the island of Madeira, holding tastings and lectures on her specialities. On the beautiful island of Madeira we get an opportunity to visit a top winery. While trying wines back to the 1800s, we learn about the process of making Madeira and the cuisine that go with it. The journey lectures accompanying tastings, designed to make you comfortable with the grapes and wine regions of the world. In the after- noon, more advanced wine tastings with high-end wines will take place. Would you like to know if you prefer Dom Pérignon over Cristal, in a blind test? Will you choose Napa or Bordeaux in our own version of the Judgement of Paris? You don’t have to be a wine expert to enjoy these tastings, but you will feel like one by the time we arrive in Puerto Rico. You can make your Wine Education Voyage as relaxed or as intimate as you desire. Suggested extra reading will be available daily, and those wishing to leave the yacht with a SeaDream Wine Diploma can take the final exam, which includes a blind tasting.
