P&O Cruises is pleased to release this short web-based video featuring TV wine expert, Olly Smith on a dedicated shore excursion to Hoya de Cadenas wine estate near Valencia, Spain. Passengers left Azura and headed off in to the heart of the Spanish countryside to enjoy a tour of the vineyard, wine tasting and lunch all enhanced by one of the UK's most enthusiastic and passionate wine experts, Olly Smith.

Olly Smith's Glass House on Azura and Ventura provides an informal haven of good food and wine. With regular appearances on selected cruises throughout the year Olly plays host to wine tastings and winner dinners, where you can enjoy wine flights matched to the food.

The Glass House has 32 handpicked wines by the glass from around the world, which offers passengers the opportunity to really explore the world of wine and enjoy a host of different flavours. Olly has even blended our award winning house wines from a vineyard in Sicily.

Olly Said: "One of the great things about my job is to meet the people, who come on holiday with P&O Cruises, and to express how much I love wine and share my passion with them. The Glass House has my enthusiasm for wine stamped all over it and I want passengers to have the opportunity to taste wines from some of the destinations Azura and Ventura will be visiting."
