food and wine pairing

[island lady]

Our mini cruise on Equinox has one sea day, and was considering doing the 12:30 food and wine pairing.  Anyone have experience with this one?  Oddly listed under "shore excursions".

If you haven't done it before, it's fun. You'll get 4-6 small glasses of wine and an individual tray of different flavours of things to eat and will get to see how the different wines affect the flavour. It's guided by a sommelier.

Thanks.  🙂  Have it already booked for Connie later in the month, but not sure if it was worth doing twice.

They'll probably be very similar although possibly different wines. Rather than pay for it twice, if you have a drink package I'd just do your own wine tasting at the buffet 🙂

Im on Connie for the first time in May. I don’t have an option for a food and wine pairing. Just the chefs table with wine extra if you want it. Does it normally appear on every cruise?

LOL...I think you are right there.  Thanks again.   Will just wait to experience it on little Connie later in the month then.  🙂

I saw it listed under "shore excursions" on both Connie and Equinox.   As I mentioned...seemed an odd spot for it.
