Wine on the Water on the Glass City Pearl with Connecting People & Places

Set Sail on the Glass City Pearl – A Scenic Cruise with a Purpose
Step aboard the Glass City Pearl for an unforgettable two-hour journey along the beautiful Maumee River in Toledo, Ohio. This elegant and leisurely cruise offers more than just breathtaking views — it’s an experience of community, connection, and giving back.
As the Pearl gently glides along the scenic river, you’ll take in stunning waterfront views, historic bridges, lush riverbanks, and Toledo’s iconic skyline. Watch as boats drift by, wildlife moves along the shoreline, and the golden light reflects off the water. Whether you're a longtime Toledo resident or visiting for the first time, you’ll see the Glass City from an entirely new and captivating perspective.
This is not just a cruise — it’s a classy, slow-paced escape designed for relaxation and enjoyment. Onboard, guests will partake in a curated wine tasting presented by David Green, Wine Rep with One Hope Wine, and beautifully arranged charcuterie board pairings presented by various local caterers. Sip exceptional wines, savor artisanally crafted bites, and unwind as the river carries you through a peaceful and picturesque route. Sampled wines from tasting can be purchased and delivered to your home. 10% of sales will be donated to your cruise's nonprofit, Connecting People & Places.
This special cruise is a fundraising event benefiting local nonprofit, Connecting People and Places. Every ticket purchased helps Connecting People and Places make a real difference in our community. When you join us aboard the Glass City Pearl, you’re not only indulging in an elegant river experience — you’re investing in the future of Toledo.
