Have your oyster and slurp it too!

We’re celebrating the best of both worlds by pairing fresh Maine oysters with our Wine Sail series this summer. Five different local oyster farms are featured with five sommelier-curated wines. So you can sit back, sail through shimmering Casco Bay, and witness firsthand the magic of different wine pairings with these deliciously briny treats. Can you imagine a more perfect Maine summer day??

This 2024 Wine Sail season holds twelve opportunities to join us on our highly-rated Wine & Oyster Sails. You're in for an incredible wine education experience as you sail through Maine’s beautiful Casco Bay with scenic views of lighthouses, islands, and waterways … all while indulging in an incredible selection of five wines paired with fresh Maine oysters. You'll walk away knowing a lot about wine and how regional influences impact wine styles and quality. You will gain confidence knowing how to evaluate, select, pair wines, and describe what you smell and taste.

Get tickets to join Sommelier Erica Archer in beautiful Portland, Maine, on board the 74-foot sailboat, Frances, built by her Captains and crew on Portland's waterfront. It does not get much better than this.
