Romantic Danube River Cruise, April 20-27, 2026, with Roman Roth of Wölffer Estate Winery

Wölffer Estate Winery

Roman Roth is a gifted winemaker who often times is heard singing in an enviable tenor voice echoing amid the barrels of Wölffer Estate. Most of all Roman gives “voice” to his wines, produced by profound experience developed on three continents. It all began with the dream of a 16-year-old boy from Rottweil in Germany’s Black Forest region. He earned his Master Winemaker and Cellar Master degrees from Weinsberg’s College for Oenology and Viticulture.

In 1992, Roman became the first winemaker at Wölffer Estate Vineyard. He established the estate’s distinctive character food-friendly, elegant wines reflective of the Long Island’s distinct terroir. He has dedicated himself to promoting not only the wines of Wölffer Estate, but of Long Island, where he has consulted with numerous vineyards and served as the President of the Long Island Wine Council from 2016 – 2018.

Recent honors include having two Wölffer Estate wines make recent “Top 100” lists from Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast; being honored as the highest-rated wines in Long Island history; and having Wölffer Estate wines served in the White House over the past two decades.

You’re invited! Join Roman & Estellita Roth aboard AmaBella, one of Europe’s grandest river ships. Roman and “Dushy” look forward to sharing with you their prized wines from Wölffer Estate Vineyard in two special tasting events and a paired dinner. The Wölffer Estate wine will be contrasted with the wines of Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria’s Wachau Valley.

This is a special cruise down the Blue Danube, from Vilshofen Bavaria to Budapest Hungary. There’s also a special 3-night pre-cruise tour of delightful Munich, capital of Germany’s beautiful Bavarian province, including all city sights, a Beer Hall dinner and visit to Mad King Ludwig’s Neuschwanstein Castle.
