About this tour

See Chicago from the water on a 2-hour Chicago Wine and Cheese Cruise, with the city unfolding along the river and Lake Michigan. Board at Michigan Avenue and settle in for a relaxed outing that pairs scenic views with samples of wine and cheese.

The cruise travels along the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. Light music sets an easygoing mood, and a climate-controlled cabin on the lower deck offers a comfortable place to unwind. This is not a narrated tour, so you can focus on the waterfront scenery and enjoy the tasting at your own pace. A full-service cash bar is available on board for additional purchases.

For a laid-back way to experience Chicago from the water, book your Chicago Wine and Cheese Cruise and enjoy the city with a glass and a pairing in hand.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.17 from 6 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Chicago
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.7.
