Those "Epicurian Immersion" Tours are absolutely fantastic.

 

The high admission price has the effect of keeping the numbers intimate (a wonderful advantage which gets the tours into some spectacular locations where the bigger groups wont work).

 

Unfortunately, as with all excursions,a certain number of participants are needed, or the tour won't go. I believe that the magic number is ten, but don't quote me.

 

The difficult thing is predicting if your shipmates will be aghast at the cost, or consider it a pittance.

 

I would suggest that you book the excursion, but have a fall back position, just in case.

 

Happy Cruising!

There's a recent very positive professional review of it - cruise critic review of insignia I believe. Can't find it right now. Planning on signing up for this for 11/1 Regatta sailing Athens to Barcelona.

Are we sure that they are offering the Food and Wine Trails excursion next year? I saw it was offered for 2008 but I haven't seen anything in terms of shore excursions for 2008.

Any suggestions for a good back up that is similar?

Non of the shore excursions for this cruise are on the site yet for 2009.But I am assuming that they will be the same as 2008.

We are booked and are doing the food and wine in Florenc. In Provance, we are gong to Avigon. It was a tough choice, but since we've been to Florence before, we decided to do the food & wine trails there since we have two days in port. Anyone else signed up?

"Food and Wine Trails" tour is offered both In Provence and Santorini on our April 2009 Regatta cruise. We hope to do both.
