Taste of Bordeaux Cruise with Scott & Erica Lindstrom-Dake of Thumbprint Cellars, July 24 - 31, 2025

Thumbprint Cellars

The Lindstrom-Dakes are always in awe of the beauty and bounty of California’s Sonoma County wine region. They are proud to see Thumbprint Cellars wines take their place alongside the many fantastic wine producers throughout the world. Thumbprint Cellars wines are crafted using grapes from local growers who fit Scott and Erica’s model of quality and sustainability. They source all 5 of their red Bordeaux varietals, (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot), crafting each into delicious stand-alone wines. These are classic Bordeaux blends of such quality to command a loyal following. “I think of these wines as a snapshot of each vineyard, varietal and vintage. Each tells a story about a special place and time” explains Scott. Today Thumbprint Cellars is a boutique premium winery producing just under 5,000 cases annually.

The L-Dake’s will be hand-selecting their favorite wines to share with you during this fabulous voyage. Compare and contrast their style against the lovely wines from Bordeaux, combined with the gourmet cuisine prepared by the talented chefs along the way and on board the lovely river ship AmaDolce.

Join Scott & Erica for this once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Bordeaux wine region of southwest France. Join us on a special voyage of discovery along the waterways of Bordeaux, arguably the world’s epicenter for production of fine red wines. Together we’ll cruise the Dordogne and Garonne rivers, and on the Gironde Estuary, visiting Bordeaux City, Libourne, St. Emilion, Pauillac, Blaye, Bourg and Cadillac.

There is also an optional, very worthwhile 3-night pre-cruise tour of Bordeaux City, Cognac and a special day in Margaux.

This exclusive holiday is dedicated to great food, fine wine and plentiful sunshine.
