The Atlantic coast: a region with taste

The Atlantic has plenty of personality. The mere thought of sailing along the route is enough to whet your appetite. The strong gourmet nature of these regions serves up an outstanding culinary diversity, with a variety of tapas in the Basque country, and exquisite oysters, fresh fish and seafood in Aquitaine, Brittany and Normandy. The exquisite wines of the Atlantic coast await you. Bordeaux, the world’s winegrowing capital, delivers a sample of its best vintages, while casks from La Rochelle give a taste of Cognac and Pineau.

Your sommelier on board:

Nils Lackner

Charming, laid-back, and grounded are three characteristics that define Nils Lackner. The Sylt-born sommelier takes you on a journey through the modern world of wine, shedding light on it in an entertainingly hedonistic manner. Lackner’s enthusiasm for the subject is not only genuine, but also contagious: equipped with a champagne sabre and decanter, the sommelier likes to go off the beaten path, cheekily questioning the status quo of many wine myths and customs. This is also true of our culinary adventure centered on Cognac, wine, and seafood. Nils Lackner offers up his insider knowledge on Bordeaux – not just the largest quality wine area, but also the birthplace of numerous features of the modern wine world. In a nutshell: a must-see for any wine enthusiast, at least once in a lifetime.

Depending upon the circumstances, it is possible that another expert will join this cruise instead.
