OC Sunset Wine Cruise + White Party

August brings something new. For the first time, the Red, Wine & Brew Group is having our wine night on the water, and we’re turning it into a White Party. Wear white to keep the vibe sharp and to make it easy to spot our group as we gather at the dock. We’ll board a luxury catamaran for a 90‑minute sunset cruise through Dana Point Harbor, tasting curated wines from The Organic Cellar alongside a spread of cheese, crackers, dried fruit, and nuts. It’s the same great energy our group is known for, now with ocean air and open horizons.

## Event Details

Date: Sunday, August 16, 2026
Time: 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM (Boat leaves at 5:30 PM)
Location: Dana Point Harbor (34675 Golden Lantern, Dana Point, CA 92629)

We’re hosting this one on a Sunday evening so the 5:30 PM departure is easier for everyone. No rushing from work, no Friday traffic. It is recommended to arrive by 5 PM so you have plenty of time to park and get to the boat.

## A Few Things to Know

🎟️ Tickets required: $59 per person (through GetYourGuide)

You will need to purchase tickets in advance. The same cruise is available on several sites, and the company confirmed they are all the same. For some reason, GetYourGuide lists the cruise a few dollars cheaper, and it also offers cancellation.

The company also noted they need at least 12 total passengers (not just our group) for the cruise to run.
They recommend purchasing tickets at least 3 days before the event so they have an accurate headcount and can confirm the cruise will take place.

Purchase Tickets: GetYourGuide – Evening Harbor Wine Cruise
Also available on Viator and directly through Dana Wharf's site.

Notes:

• Be sure to select the correct date: Sunday, August 16th.
• This is not a private boat. There will be other guests on board, but wearing white will make it easy for us to find each other quickly and stay together as a group.
• Space is limited to keep the wine experience intimate, so grab your spot early.
• A full cash bar is available on board if you'd like additional beverages beyond the tasting.
• Dress code: White Party. It keeps the aesthetic cohesive and makes our group easy to identify before boarding.

Finding us: Look for me or anyone in the group at the dock before boarding. The white attire will make us easy to spot.
