Princess Cruises has teamed up with Caymus Vineyards to offer an exclusive dining experience to those who board Princess ships sailing North America itineraries by the end of April, including all Alaska voyages, and across all its worldwide cruises by the end of May.

The Caymus Vineyards Winemaker Dinner, available for 12 guests per seating, will be offered between two and three times per cruise, depending on the journey length, and involve vineyard favourites including Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Mer Soleil Reserve Chardonnay and Sea Sun Pinot Noir. Chuck Wagner, owner and winemaker at Caymus Vineyards, has been involved in the process to ensure the wines selected complement the food, and vice versa.

“Our new Caymus Vineyards Winemaker Dinner further elevates the Princess culinary experience and wonderfully showcases the elegance of cruising,” said Sami Kohen, Princess vice president of food and beverage. “Our passionate culinary team and Chuck have curated what promises to deliver a deliciously memorable and tantalising experience that will have our guests talking long after the last course and glass of wine are served.”
