Worton Cruise & Lands Point Winery – July 12- July 13
July 12 @ 8:00 am - July 13 @ 5:00 pm

Saturday- The cruise will start with a sail to Worton Creek on Saturday, July 12th. Members can either stay at Worton Marina or anchor inside the creek or outside (for cooler breeze). Those at anchor could dingy in, or Optimystic would act as a water taxis (both ways of course 😎). In July 2024, the marina owner John told me that he had a chef lined up to reopen the restaurant there for the 2025 season. Depending on the decision of the cruisers, we could either have Saturday dinner there, or BYOF and BYOB in the picnic grove.
Sunday- at Lands Point winery. Time TBD. 12 noon? Optimystic has had many enjoyable trips here taking our friends and family who thoroughly enjoy the experience. You are welcome to dingy/kayak in as they have only one slip. Again Optimystic can be the water taxi. Saturday tastings are public (and limited to groups of 8) but if preferred, the group could request a private tasting on Sunday (need a minimum of 15) This will still allow time to sail home Sunday afternoon or members can stay an additional night for a Monday sail.
There is no cost for the trip. Eileen and Dave are not typical winery persons. They will give a 3-5 minute presentation of their wines and let you choose what you would like. I usually start out with a flight of 4 wines (1@ $12), then have another glass of my preferred. Of course they would hope you take a bottle or two. But the setting is conducive to enjoying the scenery while sipping wine. They also have snacks. Mindful that this is a husband and wife team, they want to ensure everyone has a great experience. They do not give you a hard sell.
