Don't Run Aground…
Because You Ran
Out Of Wine
Cruising along the Great River Ouse? The Smiling Grape Company delivers wine, fizz, beer and spirits directly to your boat or mooring in and around St Neots.
Life At 3 Knots, Glass In Hand
Whether you're planning a romantic sunset cruise, a weekend with friends, or simply want to enjoy life at 3 knots with a chilled glass in hand, we'll help stock your floating wine cellar.
Not sure what to buy? That's what we're here for. We'll recommend the perfect drinks for your crew, your menu and your budget — leaving you free to concentrate on the important things… like not hitting the lock gates.
Start With A Splash
Fancy starting your boating adventure with a splash? Our relaxed, entertaining wine tastings are a brilliant way to kick off (or round off) a weekend on the river. No wine snobbery, no intimidating jargon — just great wines, plenty of laughs and maybe a few accidental "quality control" top-ups.
Space Is Precious, Fridges Are Small
We've worked with private boat owners, holiday cruisers and charter groups — nobody wants to lug crates of wine down a marina. Here's how we can help:
Whether you're celebrating a birthday, a family holiday, a boating weekend, or simply the fact that someone else is steering, we'll make sure the drinks are every bit as memorable as the journey.
