2Cougs Posted June 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I purchased tickets to the wine blending experience "BLEND by Chateau Ste. Michelle". The website shows the tickets will be delivered on embarkation day. Does anyone know when the actual class takes place? I am on the Koningsdam round-trip to Alaska from Vancouver, BC in September. Are the blending sessions afternoon? evening? sea days? port days? Do you schedule it once onboard? Or is it scheduled for you? I'm looking forward to the experience, but would like more information. If you have done it, please share your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare QuattroRomeo Posted June 22, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2022 We didn't participate, but the dailies for our cruise May 28 show Winemaker for a Day in Blend on Saturday at 6:30 pm for 30 minutes, and Friday at 3 pm for 45 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvertoGold Posted June 22, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Jason was the wine guy for Blend in May. If he is still on board in September you will be pleased with his class. He has a red blend that is used as one of the wines for the Wine Tasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartgrove Posted June 22, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2022 On our Mexican Riviera cruise aboard the Koningsdam in December we enjoyed ourselves one afternoon with Blend.. We actually were able to choose the day (sea day) with a few other options available, and it was around 3:00 pm. I can't recall the sommelier's name (an older gentleman) but he was very good. Our blend was consumed at dinner the next evening in Canaletto. We even shared a taste with the sommelier on duty! Not enough tannin for her though! You should enjoy the experience as it is more than just wine tasting. Unfortunately it is the only HAL ship with that offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
