France has always rewarded those who take the time to look beyond the obvious. Along its rivers, that reward comes more naturally than almost anywhere else. AmaWaterways has built its France river cruise program around that principle, designing itineraries that move through the country with genuine curiosity, giving travelers experiences to cherish.
Burgundy, France
THE WINES OF BURGUNDY
AmaWaterways’ philosophy is perhaps most evident along the rivers of Burgundy, where the 7-night Flavors of Burgundy itinerary centers some of its most distinctive moments on wine, not as a backdrop, but as a subject worth understanding. A guided tasting through the Côte Châlonnaise region introduces appellations including Rully, Mercury, Givry and Montagny, passing through vineyards such as Chamirey and Meursault en route to a visit with one of the region’ s winemakers.
For those who want to go further, the Art du Tonneau cooperage experience invites you into the craft behind the bottle with a hands-on workshop in the centuries-old art of barrel making, from the selection of wood to the fine adjustments of toasting that give each wine its character. These are experiences that shift the relationship between traveler and destination from observer to participant. �
