Paul Gauguin Cruises is pleased to welcome special guests in wine and the culinary arts on select sailings in 2018.

Winemaker Nick Goldschmidt, of Goldschmidt Vineyards, will be sailing on the January 27, 2018, Tahiti & Society Islands voyage. He perfected his craft over decades of experience in California, Chile, Australia, Argentina, Italy, Mexico, Spain and his native New Zealand.

To date, Nick has more than 200 wines scoring 90 points or above, and every bottle he produces reflects his desire to grow the best grapes and make only the finest wines. Aboard The Gauguin, this internationally renowned winemaker shares his expertise-and a tasting of his wines.

Hazan will share his recipes and techniques during cooking demonstrations during the May 26, 2018, Cook Islands & Society Islands voyage aboard The Gauguin.

The Allegrini family has played a leading role in the history of Fumane and Valpolicella wines since the 16th century and has passed on the culture of winemaking from one generation to the next.
