Long Island Wine on the Hudson on Circle Line Downtown's Fall Foliage
Cruise Circle Line Downtown's Fall Foliage Cruise is an elegant, refined and relaxed day-long cruise and wine-tasting excursion up the Hudson River to West Point. Offered for only three dates this fall (Sunday October 22nd, Sunday October 29th, and Saturday November 4th), the Fall Foliage Cruise takes place aboard Circle Line Downtown's enchanting luxury yacht ZEPHYR. As a fun way to catch up with friends, a romantic excursion for couples, or as an excuse to get together with family, these cruises are sure to create lasting memories. This scenic tour will include views of some of New York's most famous sites, as well as, hidden gems that dot the historic Hudson. Riverside Church, Grant's Tomb and the majestic George Washington Bridge join the picturesque Little Red Lighthouse, Bear Mountain Bridge and The US Military Academy at West Point. The quaint beauty of The Palisades, Tarrytown, High Tor State Park, and Croton Point Park are also optimum points along the cruise to view fall's palette of colors. And this year, Circle Line Downtown welcomes one of New York's highest rated wineries, Peconic Bay Winery. They will provide complimentary wine tasting, allowing participants to sample and purchase some of the best vintages that New York has to offer. A few recent accolades on this vineyard include Food & Wine magazine's recent mention of the winery as one of the top wineries on Long Island. The winery's 2001 Merlot was just named Best in New York at the 2006 New York Wine & Food Classic - and it also received a terrific review in Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate. Besides sampling these award-wining wines, guests will be greeted with a complimentary champagne cocktail - a fitting celebration as you embark upon this journey through the senses. And ZEPHYR'S two full cash bars can also keep your "spirits" up with libations, flowing throughout the cruise. Your palate will also be tempted by the fabulous food served through the duration of the cruise - including a Continental breakfast, passed hors d'oeuvres, full buffet lunch, dessert and coffee. In addition to the comfortable seating available on ZEPHYR'S three magnificent decks, visitors can opt to relax at a bistro-style seating area available on the Main Deck. Whether you choose to spend your time indoors on either of the two warm and inviting enclosed decks - or outside inhaling the fresh, crisp, fall air on the Sun Deck, this cruise is sure to be one you will look forward to each year. A keyboard vocalist will also provide live music, adding to the elegance (and maybe some romance!) of the cruise. Circle Line Downtown's Fall Foliage Cruise boards
