FOLLOWING the continued popularity of its onboard wine tasting experiences, Irish Ferries has announced a new series of Wine Tasting Mini Cruises for 2026, which will take place onboard the W.B. Yeats ship on March 12, April 16 and May 21 2026.
The first Wine Tasting sailing departs Dublin for Cherbourg in March offering fantastic value fares from €307 for a car plus two passengers with reserved seats, or €399 including an inner cabin. This is the perfect opportunity to start the journey in style, combining travel to France with French wine tasting, and all at great value price.
In partnership with the Wine & Beer Supermarket, passengers will enjoy a complimentary wine tasting event onboard, showcasing more than 30 wines from a diverse range of regions and vineyards with a big emphasis as you would expect on French wine regions including the Loire Valley, Bordeaux, Alsace and Burgundy, as well as a range of other European and New World wines including Spanish Rioja and Argentinian Malbec. With this much choice, the experts will of course be on hand to guide guests through the selection, offering tasting notes, advice and recommendations.
In March, guests can look forward to learning from experienced wine professionals and:
• Tasting well-loved favourites, such as the organic Bordeaux Supérieur from Château La Mothe du Barry;
• Discovering exciting new wines, like a delightful sparkling alternative such as Crémant d’Alsace from Domaine Henri Ehrhart;
• Experiencing wines from afar, such as South Africa’s Darling Cellars Black Granite Reserve;
With generous personal EU allowances, passengers can stock up their car with wines and beers, ideal for Easter celebrations and the summer months ahead.
While onboard, guests can relax and enjoy the ship’s excellent facilities, including comfortable lounges, dining options, cinema entertainment, and panoramic sea views. With sailings designed to offer both convenience and comfort, this mini cruise is ideal for couples, friends, or anyone looking to enjoy a unique short break at sea.
These wine tasting sailings are always popular, and early booking is strongly advised to secure a place.
