How does your membership with La Connétablie de Guyenne impact onboard wine selections ? RS : In 2016 , AmaWaterways was inducted into this wine brotherhood , originally created in Bordeaux in 1952 , with a formal procession of the Connétablie ’ s banner to the sound of hunting horns . Although AmaWaterways always carefully curated our wine selection on board , our membership in La Connétablie de Guyenne of course has heightened our commitment to bringing wonderful local wines on board our ships and integrating them into our daily menus . Our commitment to wine extends further , as AmaWaterways offers guests a choice of more than 70 Celebration of Wine River Cruises through Europe in 2024 . Each Wine Cruise is hosted by a qualified wine expert from North America or Europe . This curated lineup of Wine Hosts , including vineyard owners , winemakers , certified sommeliers and wine educators , brings hand-selected wines on board to serve during wine tastings and seminars , and each host collaborates with our executive chefs on a special wine pairing dinner – all included in the price of the cruise . Some wines come from the expert ’ s own winery while other selections may be sourced directly from wineries located along the river cruise itinerary .
