CALABASAS, CA — AmaWaterways marked ‘National Wine Day’ recently with an appropriate sailing, its newest French itinerary, Flavors of Burgundy.

The palate-pleasing journey along the Saône River visits a collection of France’s top vineyards.

AmaWaterways has also released its list of Wine Hosts joining the 70+ hosted departures that are part of AmaWaterways’ 2025 series of Celebration of Wine River Cruises.

Celebration of Wine River Cruises are offered on 21 different itineraries, highlighting iconic wine regions such as Burgundy in France and the Douro Valley in Portugal, as well as lesser-known destinations including the Wachau Valley in Austria and along the Moselle River in Germany.

Delving into regional wine specialties throughout Europe enables our guests to gain a deeper appreciation for a country, its history, culture and people,” says AmaWaterways’ co-founder and executive vice-president, Kristin Karst. “We have always placed a high priority on serving fine wines that are often sourced from vineyards visited by our guests during one of the many included excursions. With the Flavors of Burgundy itinerary, discerning guests have an opportunity to visit Lyon, ‘France’s Culinary Capital’, and discover a less visited region in France that boasts some of the most iconic vineyards and charming chateaux.”
