SHEARWATER WINE TASTING SAIL

While away a lazy Sunday afternoon sipping wine, sampling cheese and sailing aboard the Shearwater, a beautiful historic schooner. Drift down the Hudson admiring the spectacular skyline of Manhattan, including the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge while you learn about the magical science of wine. Set sail on this lovingly restored 82-foot sailboat for a cruise around Manhattan. With her spacious seating, beautiful fittings and attentive crew the Shearwater makes the perfect vessel to set sail in for a memorable day on the water. Expand your taste horizons with a range of divine wine and cheese pairings that will delight picky palates and wine philistines alike. Our resident wine expert introduces a variety of fine wines each week, picked from some of America’s oldest and best-known cellars. Swirl, sniff, sip and savour in style on this stunning vintage vessel while you take in New York from the water. When you’re not quaffing and nibbling, just glance up to discover the many gems of the harbour that await. From Ellis Island, where millions of immigrants first set step on American soil, to the Statue of Liberty watching over them, the views are breathtaking. Pass under the neo-gothic splendour of Brooklyn Bridge and cruise around green Governor's Island. You’re in safe hands as we get up close to the historic monuments of Manhattan. Channel all the frivolity and fun of the 1920s with this great introduction to New York and to wine tasting.
