Description
Swallow Don’t Spit Wine Sail & Wine Weeks
In the summer of 2026 we’ll be running three Sail & Wine Weeks across three different destinations – Croatia, Greece and Turkey. Each destination has it’s own coastline, culture, cuisine and wine making traditions and each are equally as enjoyable in their own ways.
This is a week on a nicer boat than the backpacker sailing tours, ensuring a more comfortable snooze and plenty of deck space for lounging, chatting, wine tasting and pre-gaming (just because we like nice doesn’t mean that we don’t love fun). You’ll have plenty of time to snooze, soak up the sun, swim and snorkel, explore cobblestoned villages and ancient sites, but what makes this different from the other cruises is our focus on food and wine.
Mediterranean Sailing With Local Meals & Wine
Our chef will be sourcing local produce in every port and creating meals that are just perfect for the moment. Meals with a story, that leave you full and satisfied and maybe even more knowledgeable. Plus we’ll be perfectly pairing these meals with wines from the local area or the wider region, that compliment the moment and set the mood for the rest of the day or evening ahead.
For 2026, we’re running separate Sail & Wine weeks in different corners of the Mediterranean:
And Each Destination Has Its Own Wine Personality
Each week includes daily onboard tastings, plus winery visits tied to the region you choose:
• Croatia: crisp island whites, mineral rosés, and small-scale producers on sun-baked hills.
• Greece: volcanic whites, old-vine reds, and family wineries hidden behind goat tracks.
• Turkey: bold, ancient-variety reds, coastal vineyards, and modern producers doing magic with old grapes.
Every sunset becomes a tasting. Every anchorage becomes an excuse to open another bottle.
Food That Belongs Here
We’re bringing our chef on every trip. No “charter boat pasta”.
Expect simple, fresh Mediterranean food done properly: grilled seafood, tomatoes that taste alive, herbs from morning markets, olive oil you’d drink if no one judged you. Breakfast every morning, dinners most nights, and enough free evenings to disappear into a local taverna/kono ba/meze house and order whatever sounds fun.
Culture, Coastlines & Beautiful Chaos
Each destination has its own rhythm:
• Croatia: island chains, stone alleys, sleepy harbours.
• Greece: whitewashed villages, cliffside sunsets, and that slow island heartbeat.
• Turkey: warm hospitality, ancient ruins, deep coves, and flavours that stay with you.
Expect swims in water that looks fake, a few spontaneous detours, and at least one night you half-regret and fully cherish.
