The holiday season is in full swing, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how our recent events have gone, despite a few weather challenges. From Christmas Trees, wine and feeding the alpacas to the free flowing of our warming Glogg and a Festive Sing-Along, we’ve had a wonderful time celebrating with you all. Thank you to all those that have joined us over the past few weeks.
Christmas Trees & Wine
This year marked the first year of hosting our Christmas Trees & Wine sales in the vineyard, and we’re overjoyed that so many of you braved the weather to join us in the vineyard. Despite the looming threat of Storm Darragh, the festive spirit was alive and well with guests taking time to relax, catch up with family and friends over a glass of our English Sparkling Wine and Glogg - all under the cover of our stretch tent and bar. We hope your chosen Christmas tree is taking pride of place in your home, bringing warmth and cheer to the season.
The alpacas are extremely grateful for the constant flow of treats from our guests! It’s always a joy to see everyone interacting with our beloved animals. The Christmas Trail proved to be a great success and a huge thank you to everyone who participated—we will be announcing the winners soon, so stay tuned!
Friday Night Festive Sing-Along
Following the success of our summer Friday Night Fizz events, we were so excited to plan and host a Christmas version. The energy throughout the evening was nothing short of amazing with our Alwyn and complimentary Glögg flowing as guests gathered to sing carols and celebrate the season. Acapella trio Porter led us in song, filling the vineyard with harmonious tunes that helped us all get into the holiday spirit.
Local barista MochaTado were on hand with their delicious coffee and festive bakes and the team at Surrey Hills Smokehouse were keeping everyone’s hunger at bay with their delicious wood-fired pizzas.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who braved the elements and joined us for a wonderful evening of singing, good company, and plenty of seasonal cheer. Your voices truly made the night special, and we look forward to seeing you again next summer at our Friday Night Fizz events.
As we head into the new year, be sure to keep an eye out for our 2025 events calendar. From vineyard Tours and Tastings, Afternoon Teas to the Wine Festival and Picnic & Pink’s, we can’t wait to welcome you here at the vineyard.
From us all here at Chilworth Manor Vineyard, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
