According to Michael Porch, Marketing Manager for the Cape May – Lewes Ferry, the Wine Lovers Sunset Cruise is that unique remedy for residents and visitors looking to take a break from the ordinary. “What a memorable, romantic way to experience the Ferry and the wonders of the Delaware Bay as a foot passenger,” Porch said. “It’s a great way to enjoy some good conversation and sample the world’s finest wines while gazing at a beautiful sunset on the Delaware Bay. The Twin Capes resort region continues to bustle with activity and the Ferry puts you right in the middle of it all!”
