The holiday season is a whirlwind of events, and when you’re trying to plan your own holiday party, it can quickly become a bit overwhelming. Even though parties are fun, planning can be hectic, especially when it’s in the middle of a busy season. Fortunately, there’s no need to do everything yourself and host your party at your home! Let’s look at five things that make a winery the perfect venue for your holiday party.

• The staff at a winery knows how to throw a party. The space will be beautifully decorated, the servers will be top-notch, and you won’t have to worry about planning everything yourself. When you decide on a winery holiday party, you can rely on the experts who will help you plan, set everything up, and handle the cleanup after your party.
• A winery has plenty of space! Whether your crowd will be large or small, you’ll be able to check out the venue ahead of time and see the variety of spaces the vineyard has to offer. An outdoor event, making the most of the scenery, can be a beautiful option, but a tasting room party can also be a blast.
• You won’t have to handle the food on your own. Whether or not the winery has a kitchen staff, they’ll be able to help, with preferred vendors and expert assistance. You can work with the event coordinator to plan the perfect meal and you’ll never have to step foot into a kitchen.
• Wineries can handle private and corporate holiday parties. Whether you’re entertaining your nearest and dearest or creating a memorable event for your staff, a winery provides the perfect place to have a good time.
• You won’t have to do any guesswork on wines! This may be the very best thing about a winery holiday party. You’ll have your pick of delicious wines, complete with experts who can help you choose exactly the right wines for all the adults at your party. When you’re planning your party, all you’ll have to do is consult with the team at the winery to determine the right wines in the right amount to make the party perfect.
