South Street Seaport Museum to Host Sip And Sail This Month

South Street Seaport Museum will present Sip and Sail on Sunday, July 16, 2023, at 4pm.

The next offering in the Launch and Learn Sunday Sail series aboard the 1885 schooner Pioneer is a delightful cider tasting with Greenpoint Cidery. Join this exciting adults-only sail that will not only satisfy your thirst for knowledge but also introduce you to the world of hard cider! Nika Carlson, the owner and operator of Greenpoint Cidery, will share her expertise on cider production. As Pioneer glides across the water of New York Harbor, Carlson will guide us through the intricacies of cider making and conduct a delightful tasting session, helping us refine our palates and appreciate local libations.

During the sail, you will have the opportunity to sample a variety of ciders inspired by traditional farmhouse practices. These ciders are crafted using time-honored methods, local ingredients, and minimal intervention. Delve into the fascinating details of how each cider produced by Greenpoint Cidery is meticulously handcrafted in small batches. Additionally, Carlson will share limited-release experimental ciders, which incorporate fruits, herbs, and flowers foraged from the Hudson Valley area.

Please note that this Launch and Learn Sunday Sail is exclusively for individuals aged 21 and above. Advance reservations are recommended. seaportmuseum.org/pioneer-program-sail.

Be sure to review the latest COVID-19 protocols before attending.
