About this tour
A two-hour dinner cruise departing Circular Quay that pairs a multi-course meal with Penfolds wines selected to complement each plate. You'll eat aboard a floating restaurant with Sydney Harbour as your backdrop—the Opera House, bridges and foreshores framing each course. The Gold degustation showcases the winery's flagship reds, from their 1844 heritage through to current vintages. Ideal for special occasions or business entertaining, this is fine dining that moves.

What to expect
You'll board at Circular Quay and settle into either lower-deck (fully accessible) or upper-deck seating. Each course arrives plated and timed with a specific Penfolds wine—the house pours serious vintages, not token glasses. The pace is deliberate; expect two hours of eating, drinking and conversation as the boat moves gently through the harbour. Service is attentive without hovering. Bring a light jacket; the evening air can turn cool on the water. Kids under 4 eat free; those 4–15 can order the children's menu or request the full adult degustation when booking.
Good to know
Smart casual dress code applies. Book dietary requirements upfront—they aim to accommodate. Gratuities aren't included. Upper deck requires climbing stairs; if mobility is a concern, request accessibility details before booking. Public transport reaches Circular Quay easily.
