July 23-30, 2020
Immerse yourself in the many flavors of France, Germany and Switzerland.
Our winemaker, Markus Niggli, will be your personal guide through the very many wine portions of this fantastic 7-night AmaWaterways Wine Cruise. You have the opportunity to join tours that highlight the famous sights in each port of call.
These special itineraries offer you a perfect blend of wine-related experiences and excursions in grand capitals and charming towns. You’ll taste local cuisine, discover how wine is made and, of course, partake in tastings — all at no additional cost. This is a wonderful way to uncork the traditions of the local culture and learn about the region you’re visiting.
“I have led a cruise every other year for the past 6 years, and this is a region I really like,” said Markus. “You have three of the most famous wine regions in one trip. They are so different from each other and the wines are different. If you are a Riesling or white wine fan, this is a must-go.”
Markus spends half a year collecting information and preparing several talks and tastings before the cruise, so that you will gain a winemaker’s inside perspective on each region visited. He also happens to be a big fan of wines from both the Rhine and Moselle, and can help you discover wines you would not likely find on your own.
“These regions have also played an important role in my learning as a winemaker. You can read about them on the back of my bottles, like my Sol Red Wine (Riquewihr) and my Zeitlos (Erden),” he explains. “I highly recommend you join me for this cruise.”
