Why City Winery Riverwalk

City Winery Riverwalk gives boaters something uniquely useful: a food and wine stop directly on the Chicago River. When your vessel is docked in front of City Winery Riverwalk, guests can order food, wine, champagne, beverages, and ice and have it brought directly to the boat.

Dockside convenience

Pull up on the Riverwalk and let City Winery bring the order to the boat.

Food and wine built for groups

Shareable platters, salads, flatbreads, handhelds, charcuterie, desserts, wine, champagne, and beverages.

Playpen itinerary support

Playpen helps confirm route, timing, captain approval, lock considerations, and whether the stop fits the charter.

Playpen helps coordinate the charter side of the experience, including route fit, timing, captain approval, lock considerations, and whether a Riverwalk stop makes sense for your vessel and itinerary.

Important Charter Notes

Because a City Winery Riverwalk stop is also an itinerary item, additional captain compensation, docking considerations, or extended charter time may apply depending on the route, vessel, and whether guests disembark.

  • City Winery Riverwalk service is available when the boat is docked in front of City Winery Riverwalk.
  • Catering preorders require 48-hour advance notice.
  • Dockside QR ordering may be available once docked.
  • Items are priced for group service, generally serving 6 or 12.
  • Taxes, service fees, gratuity, and City Winery order payment are handled through City Winery.
