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 wine 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 with a sommelier as your guide. With comfortable seating for everyone, you can relax and fully immerse yourself in this highly-rated wine experience on the water.

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 French wines and spectacular scenery in the glorious Fort Lauderdale sunset. You'll explore five delicious wines from quality-focused producers throughout France—wines you'll be thrilled to have in your repertoire. It truly doesn't get much better than this!

  • Taste and learn about some delicious wines from France — such as Bordeaux, Burgundy, Languedoc, Loire Valley, Provence, Rhone Valley, Savoie, etc.
  • Discover what makes each French wine region unique in the styles of wine it produces.
  • Discuss France’s major grape varieties and trending styles worthy of your attention.
  • Gain confidence in evaluating, selecting, and pairing wines and describing what you smell and taste.
  • Learn what to expect from specific terms on a wine label when selecting your next bottle of wine.
  • Walk away knowing a lot about wine and how regional influences impact wine styles and quality.
  • Discover the fundamentals of wine tasting or elevate your wine knowledge to the next level.
  • Enjoy a thoughtfully curated selection of artisanal cheeses, cured meats, fruit, nuts, crackers, and accompaniments designed to complement the wines being poured. Due to the nature of our events, we cannot accommodate food allergies, omissions, or substitutions. Guests with food allergies or hesitations of any kind are welcome to bring their own snack.
