Winter Wonderland at Wölffer Estate Vineyard: A Hamptons Holiday Tradition

Some places feel magical year-round — and then there’s Wölffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack, where winter transforms the vineyard into something truly enchanting. Each December, the estate’s Winter Wonderland at the Tasting Room becomes one of the most joyful seasonal experiences on the East End — a place where lights, warmth, wine, and community come together in the coziest way.

Picture this: rows of twinkling lights weaving through vines, firepits glowing under crisp winter skies, and laughter drifting from the terrace into the surrounding fields. The Tasting Room, adorned with festive décor, feels equal parts elegant and inviting — a place where friends gather, families make memories, and visitors toast to the season with Wölffer’s celebrated wines and ciders.

Winter Wonderland is designed as a festive winter market happening on select Sundays in December — a casual, come-as-you-like affair from 11 AM to 2 PM. No assigned seating, no rigid schedule — just a warm, joyful rhythm that invites you to linger.

Inside and out, the experience is filled with delightful details:

• Seasonal wines & cider by the glass — perfect for sipping by the fire

• Holiday bites that feel classic and comforting

• Live music that adds to the cheerful ambiance

• Santa visits & photos — a family favorite

• Kids’ crafts & activities — keeping little helpers merry

• Seasonal gifts and market finds — perfect for anyone on your list

Winter Wonderland brings all the feels of a holiday market with a relaxed, Hamptons-chic vibe. Whether you arrive wrapped in a scarf with friends or bring the whole family for a day of festive fun, it’s an experience that feels both timeless and wholly local.

Because space is limited and this event fills up fast each year, advance tickets are recommended — especially if you’re planning to make this a holiday tradition.

If you’re searching for a seasonal outing that’s equal parts cozy, elegant, and joyful, Wölffer Estate’s Winter Wonderland checks every box — and is one of those events that truly marks the arrival of winter on the East End.
