Welcome!

Uncover the best kept secrets in Europe on a breathtaking journey through France, Germany, & Switzerland aboard Uniworld’s newest ship, SS Audrey with Paumanok & Palmer Vineyards.  No stranger to the Food & Wine Trails family, the Massoud family has hosted multiple river cruises with great success and praise from past guests, and we are proud to partner with them in 2027 along the scenic Rhine River.  Paumanok Vineyards is an estate winery located on the North Fork of Long Island, NY and has been recognized with numerous accolades over the years, including wine service at The White House, NY Wine Classic’s “Governor’s Cup” and “Winery of the Year” awards, “outstanding” reviews by major wine critics such as Robert Park’s Wine Advocate and James Suckling, just to name a few.

Join Winemaker Kareem Massoud and his lovely wife Karen in discovery of Moselle Rieslings to Swiss cheeses, from verdant riverscapes to alpine views, this itinerary is for the connoisseurs of wine, food, and natural beauty.  Immerse yourself in the glamour of Paris with a 2-night stay before the cruise, then marvel at Roman ruins in Trier – your embarkation city, and hike through the vineyards of Rüdesheim.  Savor freshly baked bread at a historic flour mill with an unexpected twist: one of the most beautiful private gardens in Germany.  Embark on a riverside bike ride through the romantic landscapes along the Rhine River and enjoy sparkling wine tasting in Breisach, sandwiched between the Black Forest and French Alsace, before disembarking in Basel and transferring to Zurich for Uniworld’s 2-night post-cruise hotel stay.
