Full Vines Wine Bar Menu on Princess Cruises

If you are a lover of wine, you’ve found this blog article for the right Riesling (lol) – to learn more about the Vines Wine Bar Menu on Princess Cruises!

Keep reading as we share the menu with prices and what it actually means depending on the package you have. We also give you the information you need about the casual dining options at Vines.

Vines Wine Bar

Vines Wine Bar has been a regular fixture on many Princess cruise ships for quite a while although it doesn’t have the widest selection of wines (the best is the Main Dining Rooms).

It’s usually located in a corner of the Piazza (atrium) and offers wine, Champagne and sparking wine by the glass and bottle, wine flights and antipasti to accompany your wine.

It was voted one of the “Best Wine Bars at Sea” by USA TODAY and Princess Cruises received the Wine Spectator’s Excellence Award in 2023.

• Caribbean Princess

How much is Vines Wine Bar on Princess Cruises?

Please be aware that all prices in this article are in US Dollars ($).

Wine by the glass start at $10 and bottles start from $43.

In the menus below we have included the prices per glass and per bottle. We’ve also indicated which wines by the glass are covered in the Princess Plus Package and which by the Princess Premier Package.

If you order a glass of wine that is not covered in your package, you simply pay the difference. For example, if you are on the Princess Plus package and order an $18 glass of wine, you are charged $3 extra.

An 18% service charge is added to each check. If you have one of the packages, the service charge is added at the point you purchase the package, no additional service charges are added once you’re on board.

If you don’t have a package, you pay the prices listed below in the menus with a 18% service charge.

It’s worth being aware that Vines Wine Bar on Princess Cruises is classed as a casual dining restaurant, so there is the option of a prix fixe meal here. It costs $14.99 for three dishes or can be included as a casual dining visit (for no extra fee) if you have the Plus or Premier package.

Vines Wine Bar Casual Dining Menu

Vines Wine Bar is a casual dining venue on Princess cruise ships.

The menu is tiny as it’s designed to accompany your wine. You can order items individually or as a prix fixe meal for $14.99. The prix fixe menu is included if you are on the Plus or Premier packages (Plus allows 2 x casual dining meals per cruise, Premier allows unlimited meals).

At Vines, the following dishes are available to order with your wine:

• Crudités ($3): assortment of fresh vegetables and dipping sauces
• Charcuterie Board ($12): imported meats and cheese such as prosciutto, salami, mortadella, porchetta, ham, parmigiano-reggiano, fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola, olives, onions, marinated artichokes and bread sticks
• Dark Chocolate Truffles: ($3)

We think that Vines Wine Bar is an odd choice to be classed as Casual Dining and given there is only three options, we feel you would definitely find better casual dining restaurants on board with a wider choice of dishes.

In our opinion, if you do decide to have the prix fixe menu here, you should share it between two people.

Princess Cruises Winemaker Dinner

For a extra special dinner with wine pairings, you should definitely consider booking one of the Winemaker Dinners. These aren’t held in Vines but are particularly popular so you should definitely enquire about it as soon as you get onboard.

This experience is available in the Crown Grill specialty restaurant for $140 per person.
