Join Us On A Mediterranean Wine Journey with Chimney Rock
June 28 - July 9, 2026
Join fellow Chimney Rock wine club members for an extraordinary 12-day ultra-luxury cruise through the heart of the Mediterranean, hosted by acclaimed winemaker Elizabeth Vianna. Sail aboard the beautifully appointed Scenic II, a yacht that carries just over 200 passengers. Your every detail is curated for comfort, enrichment, and indulgence.
Our journey begins in Athens, where ancient wonders meet vibrant modern culture. From there, cruise through a handpicked selection of Greek, Italian, and Spanish isles — including the sun-drenched elegance of Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete. Discover the refined charm of Porto Cervo on Sardinia’s glamorous Emerald Coast before heading west to experience Ibiza’s authentic cultural side. Conclude in Málaga, on Spain's southern coast, where Moorish architecture and Andalusian flair create a fitting finale.
Throughout the voyage, enjoy exclusive wine experiences designed for Chimney Rock enthusiasts: private tastings, thoughtful wine pairings, and engaging conversations with Elizabeth as she shares her winemaking philosophy and insights from Napa Valley’s renowned Stags Leap District.
With stunning coastal views, rich cultural excursions, and the company of fellow wine lovers, this is more than a cruise — it's a celebration of connection, craftsmanship, and the Mediterranean lifestyle.
Sign up before September 30th to receive early-bird pricing.
Fares go up $1000 per person on October 1st.
A native of São Paulo, Elizabeth Vianna spent her early years on a bi-cultural journey moving from Brazil to the United States and back again several times. These early years of travel led her to appreciate and continuously explore what connects us as humans across different cultures such as food, wine, music, and art.
A biology major at Vassar College, Elizabeth was originally on the pre-medical school track. She fell in love with wine while living in New York City, where she worked as a clinical toxicologist at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center.
Elizabeth attributes her career in winemaking to a glass of 1985 Sociando Mallet Bordeaux, which she enjoyed at a pre-auction tasting at Christie’s in New York and was the wine she had in her hand when she heard Christian Moueix praising the UC Davis Enology program.
Her strong science background and deep infatuation with wine propelled her to apply to the University of California, Davis, and its renowned winemaking program instead of medical school.
Elizabeth first became familiar with the Chimney Rock winemaking program in 1999, working as a harvest intern while completing her Master’s degree in enology at UC Davis. Upon graduation, she became a Lab Director at Napa Wine Company and was soon named Assistant Winemaker working directly with many of the region’s most legendary winemakers, including mentors Celia Welch, Erin Green, and Heidi Barrett.
Vianna was named to the position of Assistant Winemaker at Chimney Rock in January 2002, and advanced to the position of Head Winemaker in April 2005. In 2011 she was promoted to General Manager of Chimney Rock, and she continues in her role as Head Winemaker at the Stags Leap District estate winery. During her tenure at Chimney Rock, she has consistently produced wines that have been highly rated among critics and highly valued among consumers.
A staunch advocate for sustainability and the legacy of the Napa Valley, she has long served as board member and twice as President of the Stags Leap District Winegrowers Association. Today she serves as a board member of the Napa Valley Vintners and is also a member of the inaugural cohort of the 2021 Napa Valley Vintners Leadership Program.
As one of the few Latina winemakers in Napa Valley she is a strong advocate for women and minorities in the wine industry and formalized her mentorship with Batonnage, a non-profit organization in 2023. When she is not walking vineyards or making wine, you will find her immersed in music or hiking with her husband and Labrador, Molly, somewhere in the Bay Area.
