Loews Coronado Bay Resort & Spa offers Gondola Wine Tasting Cruises, aboard Venetian gondolas. Cruises travel the canals of the Coronado Cays. Floating wine seminars include bread, fruit, and cheeses hand-selected by the resort's chef. The resort's sommelier is on board to explain different wine characteristics.
Cruises are operated by The Gondola Company from the resort's private marina and feature a gondolier in traditional striped shirt and ribbon-adorned hat, Italian-style music, and blankets.
Up to three gondolas and 18 guests can participate. The one-hour cruises begin at 5:30 PM every Wednesday. Cost is $45 per person (fees and schedule subject to change). Advance reservations through The Gondola Company are required.
