NH Jingle Bells Winery Tour

Starting in November, there’s no shortage of ways to find holiday cheer — from pops concerts and plays to tree lightings and parades, you’ve got options when it comes to getting festive. But this year we’re recommending something unique — an event that blends festive music and décor with one of our favorite things — local wine.

The seventh annual NH Jingle Bells Winery Tour starts November 15 and continues on weekends through December 28, with over a dozen different wineries opening their doors for special tastings.

Flag Hill Distillery & Winery in Lee, one of the oldest wineries in the state, is one of the stops on this year’s tour. Brian Ferguson, owner and founder of Flag Hill, says that the event is a great way to experience the New Hampshire wine scene. Plus, he adds, it’s an inexpensive way to discover local wine.

“The goal is to give people an opportunity to drive around New Hampshire during a beautiful time of the year and visit our beautiful wineries at a really great value,” he says.

The $65 Single Ticket includes a tasting of different wines or spirits at each stop, plus light hors d’oeurves and a holiday ornament. Bring the wine lover in your life for $130-couple Ticket, and enjoy $5 off your tickets by using code CouplesJingle at checkout.

“With this event you get to go to (fifteen wineries), at your pace, over the course of five weekends,” says Ferguson.

While you’re enjoying the tastings, make sure to collect their festive stamp/marking on your passport ticket. When you’ve jingled and mingled your way through all 15 wineries, submit your completed passport for your chance to be entered to win one of three holly-jolly holiday wine themed gifts filled with goodies from this years participating wineries!
