Wreath Tickets

I attended a wine trail meeting last evening. Wreath tickets are selling fast. Saturday, Dec 6th is already sold out and there are only a few tickets for Saturday Dec 13. Sundays tickets are still available as are Saturday Dec. 20th.

I would suggest ordering your tickets as soon as possible to make sure you can start at the winery of your choice. If a starting winery is sold out, it doesn't mean the day is sold out, you will just have to start at a different winery.

You can order your tickets below.
