Indulge in a treat at the Muscarelle Cafe
Try a glass of one of our featured wines of the month — in December, choose from sparkling wines from around the globe! Pair it with a cheese plate or a sweet treat.

Participate in art-making activities
In the Event Hall, take part in art activities for all ages — decoupage an oyster shell Christmas ornament and make swirly paper stars to deck the halls!
