Port-Vendres, France

sailing into Port-Vendres. Sitting on the brilliant blue of the Mediterranean and flanked on three sides by the Pyrenees foothills, this idyllic harbor is renowned for its breathtaking beauty, delectable seafood, and Banyuls vineyards. Banyuls vines produce sweet wines that are enjoyed as aperitifs and dessert wines; it’s the perfect accompaniment to a meal at one of the port’s lauded seafood restaurants. And don’t miss this opportunity to take the French Expressionists of Coullioure tour—an unforgettable outing to the small fishermen town where Matisse and Derain lived, and a chance to see the exact places that inspired the artists.
