About this tour
A two-hour evening cruise departing Darling Harbour pairs six carefully matched courses with Penfolds wines selected to complement each dish. You'll dine aboard a luxury vessel with views across Sydney Harbour, accompanied by live music on weekends. Drinks flow freely—beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks included throughout. Smart dress required; this is fine dining afloat, not casual harbour sightseeing.

What to expect
You'll board at Darling Harbour and settle into the dining room as the vessel departs. Courses arrive in sequence, each accompanied by a Penfolds selection chosen to enhance the food. The pacing allows proper time between courses. Windows frame the harbour, and live music (weekends) provides ambiance without drowning conversation. Service is attentive and paced for leisurely dining. The vessel rocks gently—not turbulently, but noticeable if you're motion-sensitive. Upper deck access is stairs-only, so request accessibility details at booking if mobility is a concern.
