Chatham Vineyards Kayak Winery Tour

The World Famous Kayak Winery Tour from SouthEast Expeditions is a perfect pairing of adventure and culture featuring the exceptional vintages produced by our friends and partners at Chatham Vineyards.

We meet at an historic working wharf that has been active for centuries with the comings and goings of watermen, traders, and mariners. After a brief paddling clinic we paddle across the calm, protected waters of Nassawaddox Creek, winding into Church Creek, and on to our landing by the banks of Chatham Farm.

Walking past the majestic Federal Period manor house, we stop to taste the grapes growing in farm fields on land that was patented in the 1600s and has been feeding our community for centuries. A short stroll over to the winery and we see where the flavors cultivated in the fields are lovingly transformed into award winning bottles of wine by Winemaker Jon Wehner and his team.

Your tour includes a tasting flight so you can sample all of the wines, as well as a bottle for each couple or pair of paddlers on the trip to open or take home to enjoy later.

Chatham has snacks including cheese plates and local, fresh baked breads available to purchase. And, of course, you can add a few extra bottles to remind you of your trip and bring back the tastes of the Eastern Shore.

This tour is appropriate for paddlers of all skill levels including complete beginners.
