Testimonials
“Last September myself and three friends went on the Wine Tasting Cruise (Spain and Portugal). We enjoyed tasting many different wines. We also enjoyed the snacks and hors d’oeuvres. It was a beautiful evening – perfect weather, sunny and warm to start and the sunset was beautiful as was the scenery.”

“This was a wonderful opportunity to gather with friends and family to taste wine and snacks. The weather was perfect. My son won a bottle of his favourite wine so that was a bonus. I also enjoyed the photographic opportunity. We have lovely scenery. The boat gave us a smooth comfortable ride and the price was very reasonable.”

“We went on a wine tasting cruise and we had a great time. The boat ride and the whole experience was wonderful. Lots of tasting and lots of snacks, would highly recommend it.”

“We went to unWINEd on the Bay cruise as a family on the “Location, Location, Location” night and had a great time! The wine and snack selection was awesome. My boyfriend, who funnily enough is not much of a wine fan, was able to buy a beer on-board, so he was pleased. The price was very reasonable for such a varied, unlimited wine selection. I only wish that we could have been out on the water longer!”
