Sydney Harbour Degustation Dinner Cruise With Penfolds Wines

Great food and wine. Service excellent. Amazing views of Sydney! Would highly recommend this dinner cruise!

Very fun trip! Was a great cruise around, a lot of fun sights to see for pictures, some awesome history as well! Would recommend

Had a table next to the window. There were parts of the river that had no lights. It was pitch dark looking thru the window. Our server, Kevin, gave us the best service 👍👍👍

We did the upgraded experience, and it was very worth it! The ship is very crowded, but our table and area was not. The views were beautiful and the food was absolutely lovely! Comments: Make sure you pick up your tickets from the storefront opposite the harbor, and be prepared for a queue. A little challenging if you have mobility issues. We chose to dress up a little, but others did not opt for the same, so no pressure.

Good value even though pricey. Food and wine were plentiful and cruise allows you to get good pics of all the harbor’s sights.

Fabulous dinner cruise with amazing views of Darling Harbor and the Opera House. The service and cuisine is outstanding and very elegant plus the live music made for a very romantic evening. Highly recommend the Penfolds wine pairing!!

Lovely dinner with matching wines. Beautiful views of Sydney harbour from the boat including the bridge and Opera House. Went on a Saturday night so also got to enjoy the fireworks up close.

We did the Penfolds wine and food pairing degustation dinner to celebrate our anniversary and were very happy with the experience. -The pick up location was easy to find/get to - The staff were friendly and helpful - The food and wine were excellent - The experience of eating your dinner while floating around the Harbour provided a lovely atmosphere.

Everything about this experience was top notch. The service was wonderful, the views amazing and the foods and wines were excellent. Can’t recommend enough for an evening in Sydney.

The staff was incredible. All the food was superb and the wain pairings were phenomenal. The ship was well appointed and very clean. The tour of sites was perfect. The onboard entertainment was an added bonus.

This was definitely worth the money! Book the guaranteed window seat and the Penfolds wine dinner. They kept the wine flowing and the food was fabulous! Mindy was our server and she was a gem! She was very attentive and friendly. We loved it!

Food was fabulous, service was excellent. We upgraded to window gold. It was well worth the little extra.

Booked for a 3 hour experience which ended up being cut short to 2 hours! Disappointed, especially as there was a refusal for a partial refund - dispute still ongoing. Since this experience the operator has now changed their advertisement to show 2 hours rather than the 3 it was a few days ago. The food was absolutely delicious and our waitress was lovely.

The food and drink was excellent however, it was only a two hour roundctrip not 3 as paid for . The operator stated that it is always two hours.

Absolutely fabulous evening …truly wonderful. Would highly recommend. Food and wine were delicious . A memorable evening. Thank you

Beautiful food and wine. Attentive service. Very well organized event. We enjoyed a beautiful evening on the water that included live entertainment.

Good food & service but very short for six corses! ——————————————-///—————-///////———-/////——————————————————-

Great service, poor food, nice wines. Can’t recommend it. Window table worth the extra charge as the views of Sydney at night are great.

The ride itself provided beautiful photos from the water of all the best landmarks. The food and wine pairing dinner was delicious and well prepared. My only negative is that the service was underwhelming and the bathrooms were very dirty and some of the stalls were out of order.

It was fabulous from start to finish. Wonderful food, perfectly delicious wines!would highly recommend this

This could be a perfect tour except we were on our third course before pulling away from the dock. Then had to stop at another dock to pick up a group that was not at the original pick up point. Also had a group of guest from another table that kept gathering around our table to take selfies through the window. Our waiter did not tell them to stop but another waitress told them they needed to go upstairs for pictures. So the last hour of dinner was nice.

The staff were excellent, but for an event sold as the Penfolds Gold Dinner Cruise, featuring some of their finest wines including museum wines, the ‘event’ was more like a scrum. The food was there, just, although to my great surprise my beef was cooked perfectly. That said, what was presented as a Peking duck appetiser was more quackery, than culinary…anything. The fizz was fuzzy, the Rose - ‘Max’s blend’ defies logic given Max was the Grange creator…the Chardonnay was bland, but the Cab Sav dulled my pain. As for the harbour cruise, the interior lighting robbed most opportunities to realise where we were. I could have had a meal at any one of the fabulous harbour restaurants and seen more.

What a great trip super food and a really. Ice way to see all the sites of Sydney - the views of the bridge and the opera house were fantastic

coincided with Vivid Sydney. Spectacular light show. Ship's staff great. Highly recommend the trip. Spend the extra money for gold. It is well worth the money.

What a great evening on the harbour. The meal was delicious and the views were spectacular with vivid being on as well. Great service and facilities.

Outstanding dinner cruise during VIVID Sydney...the whole experience was wonderful, staff, food, wines were all top class.

Have a great night out and excellent food and fabulous views Shannara our hostess was superb She understood our food requirements and was attentive through the entire experience a valued member of your crew

Great service, great food, great live entertainment! Views of Vivid lights and fireworks were outstanding. A fantastic experience!

This was a classy event. Food, wine and live entertainment was all amazing. Beautiful views from our window table. Highly recommend getting a window seat.

Delicious meal with wonderful wine pairings and fantastic service. Everything about the experience was top notch. We got the Gold Penfolds dinner and booked a window seat which was well worth it.

The cruise and dinner were amazing but beware not all drinks are included like I got the impression of. Dinner takes so long that there is not much time to get any of what the complimentary drinks are anyway, and we were told that cocktails were not included. So we just had the wine pairings. For almost $400 USD, that part was very disappointing, and I did feel it was a bit overpriced, but please know that the food and service were amazing as well as the views of the Harbour at sunset.

Great atmosphere. Music duo was phenomenal. Sydney Harbor did not disappoint! Food and wine were good, service was friendly and efficient.

The cruise was what we were hoping for with scenic evening views of Sydney Harbour and surroundings. The food and wine were delicious. Our waitress was awesome. Nice music for dancing to end the evening.

Awesome food and wines. I expected the harbor to be the highlight and the food and wines to be just ok. Instead we were wowed.

This was one of the loveliest evening dinner cruise experiences we have ever had. The food was absolutely delicious as were the wine pairings and the scenery and photo opportunities were wonderful as was the staff service. All in all I would highly recommend this dinner cruise!!

Amazing food and drink. Views along harbour great and at a nice pace. Just make sure you get off at the right place coming back.

It's a wonderful dinner with plenty of wine Staff was very friendly. The wine was paired well with every course. Nice little cruise around the harbor

The ship has great view windows from all tables. The food is excellent and paired well. Pours are generous. Our waiter Vasel, was wonderful. Attentive and very personable. This was a great way to celebrate our time in Sydney.

A wonderful evening, the food and drinks were spaced out so that you were not rushed, the views at night were brilliant. The only thing would be if you don’t like wine buy the package that gives you the open bar, a great evening and ideal if you want to enjoy food and drinks in a relaxed environment with amazing views

Whilst enjoyable not as good as in previous years. We were surprised how few diners there were. Food was mostly ok as was the service. It lack atmosphere, even the live entertainment appeared to give up part way through!

We booked this dinner cruise due to the Penfolds pairings and it did not disappoint. We had hearty pours of lovely wine with each course and our wait staff was quick with refills any time glasses were empty, to include the higher end wines such as the St Henri served with our steak (filet mignon) course. All of the food was quite good as well and the portions were large enough that we felt full but not so large that we wasted a lot of food. We were upgraded from the normal boat to the Jackson, which had an elegant feel, and the live music and magical lights of Sydney Harbour during Vivid added to the lovely ambiance. All in all an outstanding evening for a quite reasonable price given the quality and quantity of all that was included.

The Food and Wine was delicious, however Ankit has to have a special mention for his professional mannerisms and etiquette. I truly didn’t feel like I was dining alone. My fellow diners were wonderful as well. Thank you for a memorable evening, Olivia

We made reservations for the Penfolds Dinner Cruise not knowing that it was a wine tasting AND dinner. What a terrific experience! From the moment we went on board to the moment of disembarkation, our every need was attended to by our waitress and hostess. The meal was expertly prepared. My steak was cooked to perfection. And you cannot beat the views from the dinner ship as we slowly glided in Sydney Harbor.

We booked a gold dinner evening cruise with a window seat. We had to pay 30 Australian dollars extra for a window seat, despite there being free tables, which was soo embarrassing everyone was looking at us as if we were trying to get something for nothing when all we wanted was what we had booked. Also the boat was large and seemed to have guests on all sorts of different dining/drinking experiences. Not at all restful or romantic. Would not recommend

A beautiful experience! Great food and wines, a perfect scenic cruise with the city lights, and exceptionally good service!

We had a lovely weather and a fantastic view of Sydney’s coastline. We had booked a window table, so the views were amazing and you could also go outside. The website says they will politely decline catering for allergies/intolerances, but they did a great job with a GF menu for me, which was a pleasant surprise. I had looked and thought I just would pass on canapés and give my pasta to someone else, but that was unnecessary. We found the food came fast and furious with the paired wines… we would have liked a but more of a break between courses. We had wine left from one course and the next wine was being poured. I guess we couldn’t understand the rush when we were 5here for three hours. Wine served with each course was very generous. Food was okay,, steak was the standout for all four… order it less cooked than you want as tended to be overdone. The other courses were okay but not worth mentioning,,, lol but I did like them scallops🤣🤣🤣…Inclusive of wines/drinks package totally great value, but they did stop service at about 9:30 before we docked.

Amazing service, amazing food! The wine provided was awful, and is the primary reason for my 3/5 rating. The boat was not elegant in any way, however the roof top was awesome!

The tour was exactly as stated. The service was excellent and the food and wine were equally excellent. We had Mildred as a server and she was fabulous! The only small, very small issue, is to know that when you book this tour, you may not get a table by the window. We were in the middle on a platform and could still see but were not by a window. It was not a huge issue as the second 1/2 of the cruise was dark but if you want a window seat, just know this. You can also walk to an upper deck for great views at any point during the cruise. We would still do the tour again when in Sydney.

The whole experience was hassle free and very enjoyable. Scenery, food, waiter was great, wines were good. We enjoyed the evening.
