A guided tasting of four premium wines aboard a private sailboat in Coconut Grove, led by a licensed sommelier who makes wine approachable, not intimidating.
Reserve Your Tasting
This isn't a tourist wine hour. WineVoyage grew out of WCI, a private-label wine company rooted in Argentina's wine world, built on the idea that wine should never come with snobbery or gatekeeping. That same philosophy guides every tasting on the water: four wines, poured and explained by a real sommelier, with room to ask questions, compare notes and actually learn something — with Miami as the backdrop.
Each sail includes a guided tasting of four hand-picked international wines, paired with a gourmet cheese and charcuterie board. Your sommelier introduces every pour — where it comes from, what makes it distinct, what to notice in the glass — at a pace that works whether you are a longtime collector or just getting into wine. No rush, no formalities, and no wrong questions. It is a conversation rather than a lecture: expect to be asked what you are picking up, to compare two glasses against each other, and to enjoy yourself doing it.
Wine lists and specific selections are available on request before you sail.

This is the part most wine people care about. Every sail includes four international premium wines chosen by your sommelier. You can also choose your own wines by upgrading to the Gold or Icon package.
On the base rate your sommelier curates the flight. On Gold and Icon you choose it yourself — up to four wines from that package’s list, picked when you buy the package.

If a wine is unavailable, our sommelier team replaces it with a comparable or superior bottle of the same style and region, and tells you in advance. Looking for something that is not on the list? Special requests within the Icon tier are welcome, subject to availability and lead time.
The Icon upgrade is $1,200 for a four-wine selection, for the whole group. It is bought after you book — your confirmation email links to it — and you choose your four as you buy it, or leave it to your sommelier.
Between the two lists, the cellar reaches into most of the places that matter. Old World heritage and New World craftsmanship, as our sommeliers put it — and a fair amount of Argentina, for reasons the wine story below explains.
Champagne · Bordeaux · Burgundy · Chablis · Rhône · Alsace · Provence
Piemonte · Tuscany · Bolgheri · Montalcino · Soave
Rioja · Ribera del Duero
Mendoza · Salta
Maipo · Colchagua · Apalta
Napa Valley · Sonoma Coast · Willamette Valley
Plus single bottles from the Douro in Portugal, the Wachau in Austria, Stellenbosch in South Africa and Marlborough in New Zealand.
Every tasting is led by a certified sommelier, and every sail is run by a licensed captain who has been reading the wind on Biscayne Bay for more than twenty years.

WSET Level 3 certified sommelier and wine educator, and founder of Together With Wine. Based in Miami, Kim has a passion for making wine approachable and fun for everyone — a philosophy that fits perfectly aboard WineVoyage.
“Being on the water at sunset is just magical! I love that I get to share my wine passion with people in a beautiful setting. You can't be stressed on the water.”
Licensed Sommelier
WSET Level 3 certified sommelier with an extensive career across Miami's top luxury hospitality venues, including Groot Hospitality and The Confidante Miami Beach. She also runs her own wine consulting practice, ElenVino.
“For me, wine is about creating memories. Being on the water, opening a beautiful bottle, meeting new people, and sharing the story behind the wine makes every voyage special.”
Licensed Sommelier
Certified sommelier, raised in the Garden District of New Orleans and shaped by a decade on restaurant floors from the Fontainebleau to the Four Seasons Surf Club. Steven now works where wine meets art and design, through projects like Milan Freret and Dinner Jubilee.
“Few things can compare to a Champagne toast on the water during sunset.”
"The wine tasting was tasty but I love how every wine was explained by our lovely host Kim."
"The selection of wines was excellent, and each tasting was thoughtfully presented with great attention to detail. What stood out the most was the knowledge and friendliness of the staff."
Not at all — the whole point is to make wine approachable. Our sommeliers adjust the depth of what they share based on your group's interest, so the same sail works for a first-time taster and a longtime collector.
Each sail pours a hand-picked flight of four international premium wines, selected by our sommelier for quality, balance and approachability. Wine lists and specific selections are available on request.
On the base rate your sommelier carefully selects the flight for each experience. If you want full control of what gets poured, the Gold package (+$700) and Icon (+$1,200) let you choose your wines from that package's list — Icon sitting above Gold. Both are bought after you book, from the link in your confirmation email, and wine packages are available on private charters only — shared sails pour the sommelier's selection. You pick your four wines as you buy the package, or leave it and your sommelier will build the flight.
Yes. If something on the flight stands out, you can buy bottles of it after the sail — just tell your sommelier while you are still on the water.
Private charters run three hours, departing from Pier 6 at Dinner Key Marina, 3400 Pan American Drive, Coconut Grove.
Casual and comfortable. Flat or soft-soled shoes are best on deck.
We monitor conditions closely and will reach out to reschedule if needed — your date isn't lost.
Share your email, and our Hospitality Manager will personally contact you to coordinate every detail of your reservation.
