ChefMendivel.comThe Sommelier's Collection
Four regions. Five exceptional wines. One unforgettable evening.
Your Luxury Sunset Dinner Cruise already includes an elegant prix fixe dinner and thoughtfully selected wines. For guests who would like wine to become a defining part of the evening, our Sommelier's Collection transforms dinner into a private regional wine journey. Each experience begins with a celebratory welcome pour and continues with exceptional wines selected to complement the progression of your dinner. Choose California, Oregon, Washington or France. Each collection is curated for your entire private party of up to six guests.
Sommelier's Collection experiences replace the wines normally included with your Luxury Sunset Dinner Cruise. Each collection includes five full bottles selected for your private party of up to six guests. A minimum of two weeks' booking notice is required. Featured vintages may vary, and an equivalent wine may be substituted when a featured bottle is unavailable.
Dates fill quickly — the river is waiting.
