Holland America Line launches first-ever branded sparkling wine

Tuesday, Oct 15, 2024 0

Holland America Line is introducing its first-ever branded sparkling wine, available across its 11 ships from the end of October.

Guests will be able to purchase the Holland America Line Sparkling Wine by the glass and bottle in all restaurants and bars, and as in-stateroom gift packages. It will also feature at events such as the Captain’s Toast and the Mariner Reception, which is part of the Mariner Society for past guests.

The sparkling wine has been created in collaboration with Four Feathers Wine Services, based in Washington, US, using the ‘Methode Traditionnelle’ process, the same technique used for producing Champagne.

Drew Foulk, senior manager of beverage and dining operations and innovation at Holland America Line, said: “Our goal was to create a wine that elevates a sense of luxury onboard. Whether our guests are celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging during their voyage, we aim to provide them with something truly exceptional.”

Rebecca De Kleine, general manager and director of winemaking at Four Feathers Wine Services, said: “We’re thrilled to partner with Holland America Line to craft this exceptional sparkling wine. This wine showcases the best of our estate-grown fruit, grown in the celebrated Columbia Valley. The Four Feathers team has ensured each bottle is a perfect balance of tradition and innovation. Sustainability is at the core of everything we do, from vineyard practices to production, ensuring that our commitment to environmental stewardship enhances the quality and integrity of this wine.”
