FINE WINE CRUISE IN FORT LAUDERDALE!

Each summer, thousands of guests from around the country travel to the coast of Portland, Maine for one of the city's most beloved experiences: Wine Wise Wine Sails. This winter, Wine Wise expands to Fort Lauderdale with Wine Cruises from December through April.

Advance reservations are strongly encouraged, as seating is limited.

You're in for an unforgettable fine wine and fresh oyster experience as you cruise along the beautiful Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal Waterways at sunset, often called the "Venice of America," with views of magnificent waterfront estates of millionaire’s row, bustling marinas, tropical landscapes ... all while indulging in a curated selection of fine wines and pristine Maine oysters with a Maine-based sommelier as your guide.

Whether you're looking for a one-of-a-kind way to experience Fort Lauderdale, planning a memorable date night, gathering with friends, entertaining out-of-town guests, this intimate evening on the water is one you'll be talking about long after the last glass is poured.

Join Sommelier Erica Archer, CWP, WSET Advanced, in beautiful Fort Lauderdale, Florida, aboard Sea Rocket for a gorgeous evening of fine wine, Maine oysters, and spectacular scenery in the glorious Fort Lauderdale sunset. You'll explore five delicious wines from quality-focused producers around the world—wines you'll be thrilled to have in your repertoire, each paired with a different Maine oyster farm. It truly doesn't get much better than this!

• Taste and learn about five delicious wines that pair great with fresh Maine oysters.
• Enjoy fresh, shucked oysters from five Maine oyster farms—from the pristine cold waters of Maine where the most flavorful and healthy oysters flourish year round.
• Find out what styles of wine are an excellent match for fresh oysters.
• Gain valuable insights into wine—understanding how regional influences shape styles and quality, gaining confidence in selecting and pairing wines, and describing your tasting notes like a pro.
