Are you ready for an unforgettable wine event? We are so excited to pair up with winemakers Amy & Kyle Johnson of Muret-Gaston and Purple Star Winery for an amazing sailing onboard The Schooner Bay Lady for a fun afternoon of incredible wines, delicious food, and sweeping views of the Pacific Northwest!
For over a decade, winemakers & owners, Amy & Kyle Johnson have been producing amazing Washington Wines! We cannot wait to share with you their award winning, highly acclaimed, barrel select wines!
About Purple Star Wines:
"In 2008 we set out to start a winery with a specific vision: to embody the soul of wine from vineyard to bottle to table. Our philosophy is that wine should be accessible, approachable, and affordable. But most of all, we believe a wine’s purpose is to bring together family and friends!
With 10 years of viticulture and winemaking experience in Washington State, we know a thing or two about making wine. For starters, Purple Star’s varietal blends are grown from some of Washington State’s finest appellations including Wahluke Slope, Yakima Valley and Red Mountain. With grapes handpicked at their optimal flavor profile and juice fermented at cooler temperatures for longer periods, our wines exhibit softer tannins and retain more varietal character.
Paying It Forward As a family we find ourselves blessed with good health. Our good fortune, however, comes with a realization that others are less fortunate. As a result we have chosen to donate 15% of Purple Star Wines’ proceeds to Seattle Children’s Hospital to benefit uncompensated care—a gesture we hope will lighten the financial burden of families overwhelmed by the expenses associated with critical medical care. It’s our way of “paying it forward.”
Thank You For Visiting May our wines become a familiar face at your dinner table and your social gatherings. Here’s to life worth celebrating!
Kyle and Amy Johnson

We love any opportunity to drink for a cause, and what better than for Seattle Children's Hospital!
Onboard the Bay Lady, you'll meet Captain Noah who is enthusiastic about sharing with all of us his passion for sailing! You can choose to participate in helping raise her sails, or sit back and relax while watching the show!
About the Schooner Bay Lady:
"Boasting an impressive 85 foot length, we are the most comfortable sailing experience on Seattle’s beautiful waters. The Bay Lady was custom built for charter sailing in 1989, and therefore is outfitted with plenty of comfortable seating (even with backrests!), two onboard bathrooms, and a robust perimeter railing to keep everyone safe.
The love and attention of the craftspeople who built her resounds in her hull to this day. She features American Ash, Honduran Mohagony and Brazilian Rosewood all varnished to perfection. With a massive 87 foot mast, she is indeed a “tall ship”, and with her cloud of 2500 square feet of sail area she sails nicely in even a gentle breeze."
