Winter Wine Tastings

Gather by the fire for an afternoon of exceptional wines, warm conversation, and cozy winter charm.

Warm up a winter afternoon with good wine, good company, and a cozy fireside atmosphere at the Holden Arboretum.

In partnership with Kosicek Vineyards, this special winter wine tasting invites guests to gather inside the Thayer Center, sample 6–8 locally crafted wines, and learn more about the winemaking process and craftsmanship behind each bottle—all while enjoying the warmth of a nearby fire.

Spend a relaxed afternoon discovering new favorites, savoring the flavors of Ohio wine country, and enjoying the beauty of the Arboretum in winter. With plenty of time to sip, linger, and head home before nightfall, it’s the perfect way to make a winter day feel a little warmer.
