VIP EXPERIENCE
Tapas & Tasting: VIP Soiree
Friday Sept 19th, 6:00 – 8:00 PM | Clipper Yacht Harbor, Sausalito, CA | $175

The Tapas and Tasting Soiree is an exclusive, after-hours event for Sausalito Boat Show VIP guests. Step aboard San Francisco's distinguished charter yachts for a progressive tasting journey—pairing chef-curated small plates with select pours from Napa and Sonoma’s celebrated wine estates.

Each yacht offers a distinct setting and menu. Drift from deck to deck, savoring bold vintages, seasonal flavors, and the elegance of Sausalito at twilight.

This is more than dinner—it’s a rare chance to taste, connect, and unwind in extraordinary company.
