Delaware may not be Vegas or Nashville, but there are plenty of ways to throw a great bachelorette party without leaving the area. Enjoy local wineries and breweries, scenic cruises, drag shows and more around the First State. Whether the bride is the life of the party, a nature lover or a foodie, there’s something for everyone around Delaware.
Delmarva Discovery Tours
This Sussex County business specializes in private tours and party bus services, and the possibilities are endless! The Ultimate Bachelorette Weekend package includes a four-hour craft beverage tour or wine and garden tour, guided kayaking, paddleboarding or paddleboard yoga and a DIY creative workshop. Creative workshops include options like home decor painting, calligraphy and more. Add-ons include things like boat or pontoon experiences, beach bonfires and yoga on the beach.
If the bride is more into serene landscapes and nature, consider the Wine, Lavender and Lambs Tour which includes tours of Good Earth Market & Organic Farms and Brittingham Farms, where you can meet lambs and wander through lavender fields. The tour ends with a wine flight at Salted Vines Winery to wind down after a day of farm tours and organic market shopping.
