Bem-vindo!  Food & Wine Trails extends a hearty welcome to Paso Robles’ Alta Colina Vineyard & Winery and Hubba Wines on their first hosted wine cruise.  You’re invited to embark Uniworld’s beautiful SS São Gabriel to with winery owners (and best friends!), Maggie Tillman and Riley Roddick for a timeless cruise down the Douro River Valley, named 2025’s International Wine Region Of The Year, by Wine Enthusiasts Magazine.

A region noted by UNESCO for its 2,000 years of winemaking and its cultural landscape of outstanding beauty, this is the only place in the world that can legally produce port wine.  Enjoy seven days with your hosts, exploring “quintas”, awe-inspiring architecture, castles and monasteries plus tastings of exquisite local wines.  While onboard ship, join Maggie & Riley for private events featuring their tasty wines during receptions and a very special winemaker’s dinner, all included in the cost of the cruise.
