Celebrity’s grape expectations
SYDNEY – Until December 15, guests on every Celebrity ship can enjoy the line’s Wine Harvest Celebration, a programme celebrating the global harvest of the grape through wine appreciation courses and tastings, food and wine pairings, silent auctions and presentations by noted authorities on select sailings.
Among the highlights will be an industry-first unveiling of Beaujolais Nouveau simultaneously across the fleet on November 19.
Hosted by a guest speaker and one of Celebrity’s own certified cellarmasters, the event will offer guests the opportunity to sip the wine from oak casks and commemorative bottles while enjoying canapés, a cheese carving station and a roast carving station.
Through “Sabreing at Sea,†guests will observe the delicate, age-old art of sabreing – uncorking a bottle with sabre or knife – while participating in tastings and discussion of sparkling wines, including champagne.
The Riedel Comparative Wine and Crystal Workshop†is a one-hour seminar Celebrity has offered since becoming the first cruise line endorsed by Riedel to offer it in 2007.
Participants learn and experience how dramatically the shape of a wine glass can affect the outcome of flavours on the palate, and hear the interesting tale of how the Riedel family has influenced the crystal industry.
