Barrister Winemaker Dinner Cruise w/ Greg Lipsker
These fantastic trips feature boutique Washington winemakers, wonderful cuisine and some of the most scenic waterways in the country. Since 2005, we've enjoyed hosting various winemakers to showcase their hard work, while you are able to sip and gaze at the natural beauty that surrounds us. Our voyages depart from the Channel Lodge dock (a mere walk down the pier from the shop) and take us up the Swinomish Channel and through Deception Pass... this is a fantastic scenic cruise abundant with eagles, seals, and spectacular scenery and wonderful history. During the cruise you'll have an opportunity to enjoy featured fine wines and talk with the owner/winemaker about their craft. The menu features appetizers like cheeses, prawns, crackers, salami and veggies... for the main course enjoy Dungeness crab, baked chicken and other side dishes, and a berry cobbler dessert... delicious! Upon return you'll have an opportunity to take some liquid memories home... put your order together on the boat, then we'll fill it for you at the shop after the cruise! Cost is $150 per person + tax. RSVP required!
THE BOAT DEPARTS AT 6:00 SHARP AND RETURNS TO THE DOCK AT 8:30 P.M. PLEASE CHECK IN TO THE WINE SHOP NO LATER THAN 5:15 P.M. A LIGHT JACKET IS RECOMMENDED; CASUAL ATTIRE.
