Located in the heart of the Chesapeake Bay, Annapolis is “America’s Sailing Capital.”
August Wine in the Wind – Along the Douro is a true sailing experience. Unwind on a two hour sail around the Chesapeake Bay while sampling wonderful wines from Portugal. You will be able to help raise the sails, steer the boat, or simply sit back and relax with your wine and food.
The beautiful, wooden, 74-foot schooner departs at 4:00pm and returns at 6:00 pm. A representative from the winery will be on board to introduce you to four special wines while you are under sail. The cruise will include 3-oz samples of each of the four wines featured. Along with each wine is a delicious, perfectly paired bite (referred to as magnificent morsels) for you to enjoy with each wine. 
Wines being featured:
Mapreco Vinho Verde
Mapreco Vinho Verde Rose
Barao De Vilar Reserva, Douro
Noval Black Porto
You get to take-home your boat friendly, wine glass by Go Vino with the Woodwind’s logo on it as a souvenir of the day.
