River Cruising with Wilson Creek Winery, Tasting Ancient Vintages & Great German Dry Reislings

AmaWaterways River Cruising

River Cruising with Wilson Creek Winery, Tasting Ancient Vintages & Great German Dry Reislings: Mick Wilson, one of the founders and co-owners of Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula Valley, is interviewed by Paul Lasley on the On Travel Radio Show about tasting fantastic German wines while hosting a luxury AmaWaterways Wine River Cruise on the Rhine River. He talked about tasting ancient vintages that are hundreds if not thousands of years in the making, the famous dry Reislings that are so much different than the sweet Reislings available in the United States. During an AmaWaterways Wine River Cruise the vintner hosts bring wine from their vineyards that will be used in on-board wine seminars with food pairings and local wines for comparison. Each host also helps conduct tours and mingle with the passengers, many who are wine aficionados eager to learn about wine, food and travel. The watchwords from many wine experts are: local wines must be consumed with local foods because they have evolved together over hundreds if not thousands of years.

Always look to expand their horizons, AmaWaterways began offering river cruises on the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar, formerly Burma, to compliment the extremely popular Mekong River Cruise vacations that include Vietnam and Cambodia. Europe is the mainstay of AmaWaterways river cruise itineraries and a number of creative themed cruises, such as Art Illuminations Cruises, Beer Cruises and Jazz Cruises, join the Wine River Cruise and Jewish Heritage Cruises lineup. No other river cruise line can match AmaWaterways on-board quality of service, first rate amenities, comfortable staterooms and the fact all the meat, fish, produce and baked goods are delivered from local vendors during the cruises. Top-notch chefs prepare meals to match the locality in which the ship is cruising while also giving patrons anything their hearts and stomachs may desire along the way. When long ships were starting to get built in Europe, AmaWaterways added the fewest number of new cabins in an effort to keep the product up to the standards set when the company was formed in 2002. Those standards, set by founders Jimmy Murphy, Rudi Schreiner and Kristin Karst, have never been compromise and continue to be improved every day. The AmaReina, which set debuted in 2014, is a sister ship to the AmaCerto and features the most advanced design of any river cruise vessel currently in operation. Our exclusive Twin Balconies are available in most staterooms, which measure a spacious 210-235 sq. feet, with four suites measuring 300 sq. feet.
