Review of Traverse City’s 2.5-hour Wind Dancer sunset sail, with local drinks, charcuterie, Great Lakes views, and practical tips.
“The cruise itself on the sailboat is relaxing and is a nice trip around Traverse Bay. The crew members were very personable and we were lucky enough to have great people in our group. The drinks were delicious and plentiful. Do not come hungry however. The food consists of a small container of crackers, cheeses, nuts and dried cranberries, and some meat logs and slices of lunchmeat. They also give a bag of chips. While the food was not what we were expecting, the rest of the experience was. I recommend this experience, but suggest a snack before and a meal after.”
Sail Grand Traverse Bay aboard the Wind Dancer with local food, wine, cocktails, and hands-on sailing in a small, family-friendly group.

All have a warm and caring personality and show consideration to the passengers while expertly handling the Schooner. Easy access with free parking and excellent dockside facilities. I will be back!”

Taste three Austrian wines, local snacks, and regional stories in a small hidden wine bar near Salzburg, with a premium six-wine option.
“It was a very relaxed setting and the host was wonderful. I was solo, but he sat me with 2 women traveling together and we had a great discussion about travel and other things. He gave details about the wine and told us to let us know if we didn't drink red wine and he would substitute something else. I tasted 3 wines: a sparkling rose, a white and a red. To me, the sparkling rose was the best, I bought a bottle, and the red was second. The white was okay, but it had an aftertaste which I didn't enjoy. We were not rushed thru our tasting even though…”
