Join us May 6, 2023 for the Chocolate & Wine CRUISE on San Francisco Bay onboard a luxury yacht, where you will taste wines and chocolates.

Taking place before both Mother’s Day and by coincidence on the same day as King Charle’s Coronation, so we’re calling it the “Coronation Cruise“! (and everyone gets a limited edition button)

The day’s adventure takes place onboard a luxury yacht, where you will taste wines from a local winemaker, along with samples from a curated selection of local chocolate, toffee,  and wine.

Walk among the various artisans and experience their latest creations. Explore and luxuriate on the yacht, and enjoy it all during the 2 1/2-hour cruise on the San Francisco Bay.

Then take home some of that great food and wine you’ve discovered and purchased onboard for continued enjoyment.
