For this intimate cruise, you will start at the private dock at Heriots Point Vineyard, and make your way up the river towards the Historic township of Franklin observing and discovering the absolutely gorgeous natural and man-made scenery and rich history of the area as we go. The beautiful fully enclosed cabin of LaDrone is perfect for all conditions on the river, not to mention the superb spacious and comfortable seating arrangements, perfect if it's raining. Or on a nice sunny day, you may want to soak up the sun on the safe and roomy back deck. On board, you will have a warm drink provided, along with a scone freshly baked that morning by Franks Cider House Café. As we are located at a private dock, prior booking is essential.
