Crew very nice, good service, food pared with the wind selections were all very good and beautifuly presented, good selection of wine to taste although the actual wine tasting didn't start immediately so the last two wines were rushed and didn't have food with them. We had a great time and would do this trip again. Tables of 6 / 8 so if you are less you will be sharing a table. Great view from every seat. |

While we welcomed the idea of joining a group of fellow wine lovers, the experience overall was mediocre.
The wine which we thought would get a good sampling of was small in portion (less than a 1/4 of the glass). The food items while appetizers, were limited to 1 per individual, leaving appetites satiated. |

Our Host was very knowledgable and friendly. She was able to provide readily information/backgrounds for the product provided. The pairing of the food was out of this world. The wonderful weather added to the experience.
This was a great value and I would recommend this activity to all my friends/family.
Thank you. |

Wendy is very knowledgable about wines from all of the world.
The selection of wine was exquisite, the appetizers were also nice.
The only thing I can recommend is more wine and more appetizers. |

This was my first time wine tasting, Overall I think the event was very good.
I think the hostess provided accurate information on the different wines of Germany and Austria.
Pros: Nice Boat, Definitely would be great for a date or a group trying something new
Cons: We only tasted 4-5 types of wines. I expected more on that end. Mainly white wine which proved I am not a fan of. But I will be back for the Spain Wine testing where they will have a variety of red wines. |

Wendy was very informative and her selections of wines was great. She was available to answer questions and wanted our opinions. We're ready to sign up for more!
Of course, we really lucked out with the weather. |

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! |
