What to expect
You'll be picked up at the Cagliari cruise terminal and driven inland through Sardinian landscape to a working winery. Once there, expect a relaxed tasting led by staff who know their stock—you'll work through several wines with explanations of the region's grapes and methods, then move to cheese tastings that pair with what you've drunk. Nothing formal or stuffy; this is how locals spend an afternoon. The whole thing runs briskly so you're back at the port well before your ship departs.
Good to know
You must be 18 to participate in wine tastings. Provide your ship's name, docking time, and boarding deadline when you book—the tour won't run if your ship arrives late. Vegetarian options available; request at booking. Groups over eight may travel in different vehicles than advertised.
