5 Holiday Party Ideas for a CT Winery

What is a good activity for a winery holiday party?
A guided wine tasting is one of the best activities for a winery holiday party. It gives guests a shared experience, sparks conversation between people who do not know each other well, and fits naturally into the setting. At Tranquillity Vineyard in Middlebury, our events coordinator can help you add a tasting to your private event.
How does a wine gift swap work?
A wine gift swap works like a white elephant exchange. Each guest brings one wrapped bottle within a set price limit, then players take turns choosing a new gift or stealing one already opened. It is simple, fun and fits perfectly at a winery. Let our team know you plan a swap so we can help with setup.
What food pairs well with a winery holiday party?
Grazing-style food pairs best with wine, including cheese, crudité and antipasto. Tranquillity offers small bites like these, and groups can order delivery from sister restaurants Brewbury and Vyne Restaurant & Bar for heartier options. Review our private event policies on outside food before you finalize your menu.
Can we decorate our private space for the holidays?
Decor guidelines vary, so check our private event policies before you plan. They explain what is allowed for decorations, outside food and beverages at Tranquillity Vineyard. If you have specific ideas, share them with our events coordinator when you inquire, and they can confirm what works in your chosen space.
