Wine By Sail in San Francisco features a gourmet food and wine experience with Captain Clark Beek aboard the 40-foot Condesa, a Laurent Giles-designed ketch. Local chefs and sommeliers pair wines from Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino with seasonal fruits, local cheeses, artisan breads, and prepared dishes for day sails and term charters in the bay and beyond.
Beek spent ten years circumnavigating Condesa via the Cape of Good Hope, the Horn, and Antarctica. Her bluewater seakindliness and semi-enclosed wheelhouse make her ideal for San Francisco’s windy and foggy summers. The boat is available during summer and fall, including events such as the Louis Vuitton Cup, the America’s Cup, and others. For details visit the Wine By Sail website.
