The Holiday Shopping Spree is back for its 30th year, ready to help you unleash your inner thrifty self! Get ready to treat yourself while shopping for others, crossing gifts off your list as you sample before you buy. Your magical Holiday Shoppers Card will save you money, and you’ll receive a souvenir wine glass, a set of whimsical souvenir ornaments (one ornament per winery), wine and food pairings, a digital recipe book, and $5 off a $35 wine purchase at every winery. Join us in our gnome-filled wonderland for a delightful Holiday Shopping Spree!
November 23 & 24 and December 7 & 8
10:00am to 5:00pm
11 participating wineries
This event is structured like our pre-2020 events:
Select a specific starting winery for you and your friends to start at. (This is where you’ll receive your souvenir wine glass and your hand-blown ornament!)
Travel the trail as you please after your first stop,
The ticket is good for BOTH days, so feel free to spread the wineries out over both days or come on just Saturday or just Sunday. (Pro-tip: Sunday tends to be a lighter day, so the wineries won’t be as crowded, which makes for an excellent time to visit and get more one-on-one attention with less waiting.)
Groups are limited to 12. If you ignore this limit, you risk being turned away from the participating wineries. Please help us make this event as fun and pleasant as possible for all by respecting the event policies and winery staff.
Expect diversity. Some wineries will be offering the standard bar tasting while others will be offering a sit-down experience* that may take longer. Take your time during the day and enjoy both!
Tickets are non-refundable.
Tickets:
Each ticket is good for the whole weekend to visit each winery once. Single tickets are $65 and couples tickets are $95 (plus tax and service fee) and include:
1 wine and food pairing at each winery, per person
3 additional wine tastings per winery, per person
1 hand-blown ornament per ticket (1 for a single ticket, 1 for a DD ticket, and 1 for a couples ticket)
