About this Event
Psst... Ms. Claus has been sneaking into Santa's wine cellar, and she's ready to spill the secrets!
Join us aboard Vichino's Sunset Wine Tasting Cruise for a little holiday magic, a lot of laughter, and some seriously delicious wines!
This isn't just any Ms. Claus! She's Santa's niece, AKA our very own Advanced Sommelier, Jen! And she's bringing along some of her favorite wines from Santa's very special list. After all, Santa can't be expected to drink milk and eat cookies all season long!
As we cruise through the beautiful waters of Estero Bay, Ms. Claus will guide us through five fabulous wines, sharing fun stories, tasting tips, and a little North Pole mischief along the way.
🎁 What's Included:
- 🍷 Five specially selected wines from Santa's secret list
- 🧀 Vichino's signature pretzel charcuterie
- 🌅 A beautiful two-hour sunset cruise on Estero Bay
- 🎅 Holiday cheer, festive fun, and plenty of laughs with Ms. Claus herself!
🎄 Dress Festive... or Naughty!
Ugly Christmas sweaters? Absolutely! Santa hats? Of course! Reindeer antlers, elf outfits, Christmas pajamas, or your favorite holiday attire? We LOVE it! Dressing up is completely optional, but we encourage everyone to bring a little Christmas spirit aboard!
Whether you've been naughty or nice this year, everyone deserves a spot on Ms. Claus' wine list!
So grab your favorite holiday crew, throw on something festive, and join us for an unforgettable evening of sipping, sailing, and celebrating the season.
🎟️ Seating is limited, so don't wait until Santa checks his list twice!
