This isn't just a cruise. It's a four-hour adventure that begins when you climb aboard the Argosy, a climate-controlled ship with two cash bars. Soak up the beautiful coastal scenery as the narrated trip takes you from Puget Sound to Blake Island. Once on the island, you'll disembark to enjoy an appetizer of clams and nectar, then visit the Tillicum Village longhouse for a buffet meal including salmon baked on cedar stakes in the traditional Northwest Coast native style. At the end of the meal, enjoy a spellbinding performance highlighting the myth, magic and dances of the native Salish people, complete with high-tech effects. There's even a chance to explore the island a bit before heading back on the return cruise. Learn More

Written on Sep 21 2009We had a delightful time at this well-organized Sunday afternoon event. Ian, the host, is very knowledgeable and personable which made learning about wine a pleasure. The class concept was clever and it worked -- blending wine or painting on canvas so that the participants get to express their own creativity. People were friendly and fun and I believe a good time was had by all. I will definitely plan to attend more of the host's events.

Description
Looking for something unique to do with your friends, your significant other or a great date?
Take a class where you can learn about wine, fine art and make a keepsake of your time together.
First, you will taste and discuss several varietal wines: Cab/CabFranc/Merlot/Malbec/Syrah and others. Second, you will blend a wine to your liking, using different beakers. Third, you will hear from a local artist as she discusses her background, talents, education, and ideas on art. Fourth, you will be provided with everything you need to make a master work of art... all students can paint take home piece of work. If you wish, you can work with the artist to express your ideas.
Art, like wine, is based on several basic principles: raw ingredients, materials, wisdom, vision, and talent.
Note that while you will be allowed to take your artwork with you, unfortunately, due to legal limitations, you cannot take home the wine you make in this class.
