Event Details

Join us on Yacht Manhattan for our Wine Tasting Series!  It not just all about Port anymore. Some of the best values in the world of wine can be found in this beautiful country rich in tradition yet bursting onto the scene with new finds. Discover the grapes, styles, regions, and earthy flavors that set Portugal apart from the rest.  Relax in our beautifully enclosed solarium for this educational event as we cruise around Manhattan in style.

Each week we will focus on a different region exploring the grapes, styles, soils, viticulture, and tasting techniques that will help you enjoy the place in your glass! These interactive tastings will be conducted by our wine professional Wendy Crispell in a fun, relaxed atmosphere aboard the beautiful yacht Manhattan. Light tapas will be expertly paired to complement the evening's wines.

This series is inspired by the 400th Anniversary of NY. People from many cultures sailed into our harbor bringing regional cuisine and traditions that helped to make NY one of the most diverse culinary destinations in the world!

  • Taste 5 different wines from a specific region in the world (We select 5 different Wines for each event)
  • Light tapas matched with the wines of the evening
  • Learn the basics of tasting in a fun, informative setting
  • Find out what makes each wine different and unique
  • Discuss major styles, grape varieties, regions, trends and more
  • Passed Hors D' Oeuvres will be paired with the specific wines of the evening
>>Note that from June to August, special Saturday afternoon trips will be 45 minutes longer and will do a full circumnavigation of the island!<<

Don't miss this opportunity to swirl, sniff, and taste your way down the Hudson. Relax in our beautifully enclosed solarium for this educational event as we cruise around Manhattan in style.

Climb aboard the Manhattan and witness the city's beauty and elegance under the setting sun as you taste some of New York and Europe's finest wines.

If you are in to comfortable cruising or the Gilded Era of Yachting, be sure to experience our 1920’s style “commuter” yacht, Manhattan.

She was built here in the state of New York by Scarano Boat Building in 2005 and is currently the only non-sailing yacht in our Classic Harbor Line fleet. We take great pride in her New York heritage and we additionally take great pride in serving the very best of New York beers, wines, cheeses, produce & famous local bakery aboard her decks.

Edible Manhattan wrote that we are “Not Your Mother’s Circle Line”. We strive to surpass any “tourist” expectations of what a “harbor cruise” entails: we include a “Taste of NY” in our menus, maintain an unprecedented level of hospitality and we do so aboard a special, beautiful, intimate yacht built by NY craftsmen.

Classically-lined & comfortable with teak decks and mahogany rails, she can accommodate up to 50 for dinner & 75 for passed hors d’ oeuvres. She features an enclosed, cushioned observatory surrounded by large windows & skylights. She is equipped for all weather with a/c & heating and thus operates comfortably from early spring through New Year’s Day.
