Wine & Gusto: perfect for gourmets
The great Theresa of Ávila once said: "Treat your body good so that your soul likes to live within". How right she was. And that's why excellent food is one of the aspects we are particularly passionate about during our cruises. Our philosophy: at our varied buffets and in our excellent menus, everyone will find exactly what they are looking for – prepared with love, expertise, the finest fresh ingredients and then cooked to perfection. Accompanied by the perfect wine, ripened on the hillsides that the river itself has carved out over millions of years. Now, the only tricky part is deciding what to try first, because everything is included in the Premium All-Inclusive rate.
Fancy something a little more exclusive? Then try out A-ROSA Dining, offering the finest cuisine on all river cruises lasting five nights or more. Here, we serve up local specialities in a multi-course menu. Be it the juicy apricots of the Wachau region, Mediterranean herbs from southern France, the most delicious cheeses from Holland, or flavoursome Hungarian dumplings. You can enjoy all this in the privacy of a separate section of the restaurant.
Guten Appetit! Bon Appétit! Enjoy!
