Miami: Intimate Unique Wine Tasting Sailing Experience

Miami: Intimate Unique Wine Tasting Sailing Experience offers a refreshing way to see the city’s waters while savoring excellent wines. For $300 per group, up to two or more people, you’ll spend three hours aboard a luxury sailboat, guided by knowledgeable crew and a passionate wine connoisseur. Set against the dazzling backdrop of Biscayne Bay, this experience combines the elegance of sailing with the pleasure of tasting curated wines and gourmet bites.

What we love most is the small group setting, which fosters a truly personal and relaxed atmosphere, allowing for meaningful conversations and a sense of connection. Plus, the panoramic views of Miami’s skyline and ocean — especially during golden hour — make for an unforgettable backdrop. On the flip side, this experience is not suitable for everyone; those with mobility issues, children under 21, or anyone prone to motion sickness will want to consider that. Still, if you’re seeking a peaceful, social escape with a touch of luxury, this tour might be perfect for you.

This experience is best suited for couples, small groups of friends, or anyone wanting a classy, laid-back way to enjoy Miami’s waters. It’s especially appealing if you love wine, beautiful scenery, and the idea of gliding silently under wind power — no engines, just ocean breezes and good company.

Discovering the Magic of Biscayne Bay by Sailboat

This tour combines two of Miami’s best features: its stunning water views and its thriving wine scene. For three hours, you and your small group will drift across Biscayne Bay on a luxury 40 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey sailboat. With the sails unfurled and the wind guiding the way, you’ll leave the busy city behind and enjoy a peaceful, wind-powered journey.

This experience costs around $300 for your entire group, making it a fairly premium outing, but it’s packed with value. You’re not just paying for transportation — you’re paying for an environment where you can relax, learn about wines, and enjoy incredible scenery. A local, friendly crew will tend to your needs, while a knowledgeable wine connoisseur guides you through a curated flight of four international wines. These are selected for their quality and variety, offering a taste of something special.

The gourmet cheese and charcuterie board is carefully chosen to match the wines, elevating the tasting and providing a satisfying snack that’s far more refined than typical boat snacks. As you sip and nibble, you’ll enjoy the panoramic views of Miami’s skyline, Key Biscayne, and the open ocean. During golden hour, the setting sun casts a warm glow, perfect for photography or simply soaking in the serenity.

What the Experience Looks Like

The tour begins at Pier 6, where the WineVoyage team will meet you and whisk you away for your three-hour adventure. You’ll be aboard the luxurious 40 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey, with shaded seating under a bimini top for UV protection and plenty of space on the sundeck for lounging.

Throughout the voyage, the guides and crew will provide insights into the wines you’re tasting, sharing stories behind each label. You might find that the knowledgeable guides make a big difference—they’re friendly, professional, and eager to educate without overwhelming. The focus is on creating a welcoming environment for everyone, even those new to wine tasting.

The boat’s design ensures you have stunning 360-degree views, and you can choose to stay under the shaded area or soak up the sun on deck. As the boat glides silently, the gentle ocean breezes and warm light create an almost meditative atmosphere. It’s a perfect way to disconnect and appreciate Miami from a different perspective.

What’s Included and What to Expect

This experience is well-rounded with everything you need for a memorable outing. Included are the three-hour sailing charter, operated by a skilled, licensed captain and attentive crew. The guided wine tasting features four hand-selected international wines, all curated for their quality and diversity.

The gourmet cheese and charcuterie board complements the wines perfectly, providing a gourmet touch to your tasting. The shaded seating ensures comfort, while the spacious deck offers room for socializing or simply enjoying the scenery. Safety is taken seriously with onboard equipment and life jackets, making this suitable for most travelers, except those with certain mobility or health restrictions.

The tour is flexible in terms of timing—usually available during the evening, making it a fantastic way to unwind after a day exploring Miami. You can opt for private or small group bookings, adding an extra layer of intimacy or exclusivity.
