Here’s What ZAPers Are Saying About Our Cruises
“A very memorable and enjoyable experience for avowed ‘non-cruisers’.” C. Snyder (Los Altos, CA)
“Great Trip!” V. & D.L. DiLoreto (Austin, TX)
“Our two ZAP cruises (so far) have been among the best cruises ever. We’ve made a lot of new friends, learned some new things…and even enjoyed the wines!” L. Cannady (Orinda, CA)
“I didn't think we would be able to match the original cruise we took from Venice to Barcelona, BUT there were some real surprise destinations…the ZAP events were actually better than the our first cruise— very well organized, informative and fun. The three winemakers on board were a fun group to be around, the Dusi trio a special treat, ZAPers were as social as always, and as always fantastic Zin to taste.”
T. & D. Mendicino (Bay Area, CA)
