I really liked the informal feel of this wine tasting. Basically you could sit on comfy benches, go out on the deck to check out the city, and be interrupted only by the host pouring more wine and bringing out appetizers that were not only tasty, but matched the wines. It was also great to see the city from such interesting views. My friend and I really enjoyed ourselves and I would do this again with other out of town guests. Oh- and the chef even made me some veggie treats as there were a number of appetizers that had meat in them. I didn't even ask - they just brought them out after I refused a couple of the meaty treats. |

What a great time! The yacht was beautiful, it was an incredible experience. Very romantic. The wines were very very good and it was set up so even us novices knew what to do. Mostly it was just a beautiful. We will do it again and bring visiting family members. Only thing, as a vegetarian I wish I could have tasted the apps. The brie and berrie one was delicious and my husband enjoyed all of them, especially the peanut sauce on the chicken. The staff was perfect. They were very helpful but not intrusive. Perfect, worth every penny! |

Wonderful opportunity to experience the art of wine tasting at the same fall in love with New York City's skyline.
I highly recommend this event for couples and singles. |

The yacht was beautiful. The cruise around manhattan was smooth and exciting. I saw things I've never seen before, despite living in the area most of my life. The wine presentation was great. I heard about wines I've never heard about before and even discovered a new winery (Brenmarl). The speakers were great. Anna especially seemed to know so much about wines and answered all my questions with detail, and a friendly smile.
Loads of fun. I will definitely recommend the cruise/tasting to all my friends and family. |

The boat cruise was amazing. The wine was great to sample and there was plenty, with bottles that could be purchased at the end. The table we sat at was very entertaining compared to some of the others but everyone seemed to be having fun. Also, the boat ride around the city wasn't too short or too long. Overall, it was great and look forward to doing it again. |

When planning my sister's bachelorette party, she had asked me to include wine tasting. Since it wasn't her first time wine tasting, I thought how can I make this special? I searched online for "wine tasting NYC" and this was one of the first results I clicked. It was super easy to make the reservation and although I didn't know what to expect, I had a feeling it was going to be great. We boarded the boat at 2pm. It was clean and our table was ready for us. We got to taste 5 different wines plus a complimentary glass of sparkling wine to kick off the event. The cheeses we were given were delicious. The staff was exceptional, always willing to snap a photo when asked. The ride was smooth and some of the people I was with that tend to get sea sick felt great the whole trip. It was an event I will never forget and would definitely do again. The ride is 2 hours and 45 minutes long. It never felt too short or too long, it was the perfect amount of time. I recommend anyone that enjoys wine tasting to take part. Truly a fun and interesting experience. |

We enjoyed the wine and cheese selection. The information provided about the wines and where to get them was great and most of them were affordable. |
