Indulge in a private wine & food pairing under sail on Presque Isle Bay. This exclusive experience is not offered anywhere else in the United States! You and your friends will enjoy a 3-5 flight wine tasting experience while learning about food pairings from a certified WSET level 2 sommelier.

Our Captain and Crew will sail around Presque Isle Bay while Vintage Wine Consulting hosts your adventure. You'll leave with practical tips about pairing wine and food for your own parties.

This is the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion or simply to enjoy a unique and unforgettable experience with friends and family.

    • Because this experience is exclusive, groups smaller than 4 must purchase 4 seats.

    • Please arrive at Wolverine Park Marina 15 minutes before your scheduled time.

    • Dress in layers based on the weather that day.

    • 3-5 glasses of wine and courses of food are included per guest

    • Don’t forget your camera and tip money for the crew!

    • We recommend using the bathroom before your adventure.

  • I GET CARSICK. IS THIS FOR ME?

    We want everyone to have a good time. You know yourself better than we do. Trust your judgement. Ultimately, the decision is yours and we can’t be responsible for your decisions if they turn out to be bad ones.

    WHAT IF THE WEATHER ISN’T COOPERATING AND I WANT TO CANCEL?

    Book your sailing adventure months in advance without worrying about the weather. We feature a 100% money-back weather guarantee. After all, it’s important to us that you have a pleasant experience.

    SOMETHING CAME UP AT THE LAST MINUTE AND I CAN’T MAKE IT. WILL YOU GIVE ME A REFUND?

    It depends on the situation. We’re reasonable people but we won’t be taken advantage of. Last minute cancellations also affect other guests who otherwise could have used the time for their adventure.

    WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

    Bring a jacket. It can sometimes be chilly on the water at night.

    FOOTWEAR?

    The Captain prefers to go barefoot but that's up to you to decide for yourself. Please, no flip-flops, heels, or platform shoes.

    DO YOU HAVE A WEIGHT LIMIT?

    Nope! But if you’re concerned about your health and safety, please keep in mind that you‘ll have to climb into (and out of) the boat. Also, in some conditions there are times where guests feel more comfortable bracing themselves while underway.

    DO YOU HAVE AN AGE LIMIT?

    Nope! Well behaved, able-bodied passengers of all ages are welcome.

    HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I HAVE TO BOOK?

    We recommend planning your trip as far in advance as possible. While same day reservations are often available, we can’t guarantee that we will have the capacity to accommodate your group.

    ARE WE ALLOWED TO BRING OUR OWN DRINKS (BYOB)?

    Sure! Please avoid red wines which stain the boat.

    SMOKING ON THE BOAT?

    We are smoke-free (also vape-free) with the exception of our Cigars & Sunset experience.

    WHERE DO I PARK?

    We recommend parking in the Wolverine Park Marina parking lot. Walk towards the water and down the stairs. Wait at the base of the stairs for one of our crew to greet you at the time of your scheduled adventure.

    TIPPING…

    Consider bringing cash for our crew in the event you have a great time!
