NORTH ROSE BOAT TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Sodus Bay After Dark: Two Hours of Local Tastings and Live Soul Aboard the Rose Lummis
A two-hour Saturday-evening cruise in North Rose that pairs tastings from regional wineries, breweries and cideries with live music—this guide explains what to expect and where to meet.
Sodus Bay After Dark: Two Hours of Local Tastings and Live Soul Aboard the Rose Lummis.
On select Saturday nights, the Rose Lummis slips out into Sodus Bay for a measured two-hour run that foregrounds local flavor: winemakers, brewers and cidermakers come aboard to offer tastings while a live performer sets the evening’s tone. The event compresses shoreline light, craft beverages and live music into a compact outing that’s as much about the pace of the water as it is the pours.

What the day feels like
What the Night Feels Like
The outing is concise and social: board at a shore-side pier, settle into the boat’s deck, and spend two hours sampling regionally produced wines, beers and ciders while a live set unfolds. It’s paced for conversation and short-form discovery rather than a tasting marathon—an evening built around the bay’s calm and local craft.
