Cruising Rosé

IF YOU HAVEN’T YET MADE YOUR RESERVATIONS—check below for the rolling deadline.  We will keep reservations open as long as we have capacity through June 8th.   We decided to go ahead and make a commitment to the caterer knowing some people have been busy with the Memorial Day weekend.

So you can still join us for total relaxation as we set sail on the Pride of the Susquehanna for an evening cruise of wine, food and friends June 12^th from 7-9 p.m.  Plan to arrive early because…  the boat sails PROMPTLY at 7:00 p.m. from the dock on City Island.  Latecomers unfortunately will be left behind.   Plan to arrive dockside no later than 6:45 p.m.

The Harrisburg Senators will be in Richmond, VA that evening for an away game so parking should be easy.

Sit inside on the enclosed lower deck or enjoy the upper deck as we cruise down the river taking in the sites of the city and wildlife along the river.  You will have a bird’s eye view from the upper deck to watch the sunset as we cruise back to port.  Sunset is at 8:36 p.m. on June 12^th.

This is an informal, social event so you will have time to talk about the wines you are tasting and make new friends who also enjoy wine.  Hopefully, you will come away with a favorite wine or two you can enjoy during the summer.  See the wines…
