Wassailing

This family friendly event is sure to put you in the Holiday Spirit.

We will be taking groups out into the Orchard to Wassail starting at 5:00 and will be coming back every hour to bring people back to the Tasting Room or back out into the Orchard.
The last group of people will be brought out to the Orchard at 8:00PM and brought back to the Tasting Room at 8:45PM.

Once in the Orchard you will find a tasting station where you will be able to get a Hot Mulled Cider that will be available with or without Mapple Jack Liquor added.

The orchard-visiting wassail refers to the ancient custom of visiting orchards in cider-producing regions of England, reciting incantations and singing to the trees to promote a good harvest for the coming year. So make sure that you have your favorite song ready to sing into the trees.

Help us ensure that we have a good harvest by coming out and Wassailing the orchard with us!

Merry-Oh-Kee with Ritz Carlton

Ritz is back for our annual Holiday Karaoke!

Merry-Oh-Kee is the premier event where you can show off your talent for singing all those Holiday tunes that you’ve been practicing in your car.

While this event is great for belting out your holiday favorites, all songs even if not holiday related will be entertained.

So bring a crowd, bring your singing voice, and get excited for Merry-Oh-Kee!

This event will start at 7:00pm and we will stay open until 10:00pm for drink service. Food service will end at 8:30.

This event is typically not kid friendly due to the nature of the song choices which we do not sensor.
