KtmcdMiddleTennessee Posted April 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hi! First time on Azamara and to Italy for us.. Our itinerary includes Tuscany and we would like to bring home some wine. How is that best handled? Can we buy it and bring on board or do we have to ship from the winery? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted April 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2018 You can bring on board a ‘reasonable’ quantity of wine. Not sure what ‘reasonable’ means, though in this case. Azamara has a pretty relaxed attitude to bringing alcohol on board. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurieb Posted April 13, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 13, 2018 You'll have no problem bringing onto the ship as much as you like; you will need to consider how to get it back home. We've packed in our checked luggage before, but do consider the weight, as luggage weight limitations seem to be getting lighter and lighter. There are some fantastic wine shops in Italy, and you may be able to have them ship home for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizboyle Posted April 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2018 We visited a fantastic restaurant in Tuscany where the owner had his own vineyard. We purchased a case and he shipped it to the U.K. for us very cheaply. It arrived via UPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizboyle Posted April 14, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Liz, would you mind sharing where this restaurant was in Tuscany? Thanks I cannot for the life of me remember the name. We were on a private day tour and the driver took us there. It overlooked the bay of Naples and the food was sublime. All from their own garden. If I do remember it, I’ll let you know.

My friends will laugh at this because they disown me when we do geography trivia because my knowledge is so poor. But I am thinking that lovely restaurant may have been in the South rather than Tuscany if it overlooked the Bay of Naples. I won't be at all surprised though if I am completely wrong:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizboyle Posted April 14, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I remembered!!!! It was called Il Panoramo and it was in the hills not far from Sorrento with fantastic views over the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the Sorrento area so have made a note of that restaurant anyway.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grnrab Posted April 17, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Just about any winery will ship back to your home (that's what we did) and even some very small places have websites from which you can order once back home as well. Take a few bottles to enjoy on board , a few maybe in your checked luggage - ship the rest. You don't want to deal with checking boxed cases on each of your flights.
