Wine Tasting & Sights of Valencia

  • Wine Tasting & Sights of Valencia
From 155
Wine has been produced in Valencia since Neolithic times. You could say they’ve got the formula down pretty well by now.
After a drive around Valencia’s historical and architectural highlights — including the city’s famous bullring — you’ll make your way to the main event: wine tasting. While Valencia’s best-known libation is a dessert wine made from muscatel grapes, you’ll try five different vintages of Spanish wine and choose a favorite of your own. After the tasting, you’ll head on foot to the city’s medieval cathedral and the Central Market, which has occupied the same spot since the 13th century.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price. 

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.
