steph7021 Posted June 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2013 We'd like to take a wine tour in Toulon. My 18 year old daughter will be with us who will have graduated highschool. 18 is legal, right? Will the tour operators allow this? No flames please :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxHadleyxx Posted June 25, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yes it is legal, and I cannot imagine that you will have an issue with a company allowing it. DD16 is ALWAYS offered wine/champagne whenever we stop at vineyards in France and has been for the past 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare fabnfortysomething Posted June 25, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2013 if you want a recommendation we used provencewinetours last year from Toulon which included 3 wineries and a visit to Cassis 18 in most of Europe is a full legal adult able to drink all alcohol including spirits if they offer the firewater at the tasting places!

It is legal at 18 and younger children would never be excluded from visiting wineries. And offered samples too ... It is not a big deal in France. I just checked your tour website. It sounds like a fun day and a very good way to visit Bandol and Cassis if you do not want to drive yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffy116 Posted October 13, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Legal and perfectly normal in Italy, France and Greece. My daughter signed the form and my Grandson was allowed to have wine and beer on the cruise ship (Royal Caribbean), as it leaves from a European port. He looked like a deer in the headlights on our first night pre-cruise, in (Rome) when we ordered wine and the waiter automatically sat a glass in front of him and filled it...lol. It's odd to Europeans that we have a law that doesn't allow it, so they don't even look twice. We're planning a wine tour in France this coming June during our cruise too. Sounds wonderful.

Hmmm, I don't know if NCL has this form but I would sign it for wine at dinner....however, we are also taking my DD friend and I'm not sure how that would work? But, looking forward to the ports!

LondonTowner Posted October 14, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 14, 2013 griffy116 Not everywhere in Europe has relaxed drinking laws. Here in the UK you have to be 18 to drink and buy alcohol. However, in Spain, France and Italy it is acceptable for younger people to drink a glass of wine with their meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
