Leave the city behind for an evening and take in the calm of an island sunset with a glass of prosecco in hand!
With Prosecco Picnics on Spectacle Island, you’ll hop aboard a ferry and in less than 30 minutes, you'll find yourself on Spectacle Island with front-row seats to one of Boston’s most breathtaking views: the city skyline glowing in golden hour light. As the sun begins to dip, sip a refreshing drink, savor fresh-shucked oysters, and dig into a gourmet picnic dinner crafted by Gourmet Caterers.
Stroll the island’s scenic trails, dip your toes in the water, or simply unwind on the beach as the sky turns pink and orange over the harbor. With exclusive after-hours access, this is your chance to experience Spectacle Island in a whole new light—quiet, magical, and all your own.
Thanks to our partners at Gourmet Caterers, Boston Harbor City Cruises, and Department of Conservation and Recreation for making this event possible.
