“Cruise to Jazz”

Wequassett and Cloudy Bay Winery, New Zealand’s favorite vineyard, have created the ultimate pre-jazz experience with a relaxing cruise on Pleasant Bay and a specialty curated dinner.

Begin the evening with a luxurious selection of hors d’oeuvres, accompanied by a bottle of Cloudy Bay’s Pelorus and Rosé Sparkling, on a private, 90-minute boat cruise on Pleasant Bay. Back on shore, enjoy a dinner inspired by the night’s jazz entertainment and accompanied by two bottles of Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc and two bottles of Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir.

Reservations may be made with Rene Votteler at (508) 430-3030 .

Jazz music is the power of now. There is no script. It’s conversation. The emotion is given to you by musicians as they make split-second decisions to fulfill what they feel the moment requires.
