The First Night of Christmas - Christmas Past, Present, and Future

When: 
Friday, December 4, 2026
4-7 pm
Where: 

The Lucas & Lewellen and Toccata Tasting Rooms

When Solvang turns on the Christmas lights, we open the good bottles. This year, we're doing Christmas a little differently. Start with a taste of Christmas Past. Step outside for Christmas Present. Then cross the street and taste Christmas Future.

CHRISTMAS PAST
The Lucas & Lewellen Tasting Room

We're going into the library. Begin with a little Christmas welcome, our Sparkling Wine paired with Thomas Toffee's White Chocolate Peppermint Toffee, complimentary for everyone. Then settle into Christmas Past with a flight of three wines from the Lucas & Lewellen library, selected from vintages gone by and opened especially for this evening.

Christmas Past Library Flight
Complimentary for Wine Club Members
$20 for guests

Maybe just a half a drink more? We'll be pulling something rarer from the cellar and pouring it by the glass. One old bottle at a time. When it's gone, we'll open another. $15/glass ($12 for Wine Club members). And because Christmas means Port and cheese, we'll be serving a proper glass of Lucas & Lewellen Port with a small Christmas cheese course. $15/each ($12 for Wine Club members).

CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Solvang Tree Lighting | 5:30 PM

Walk over to the park and join the locals for the lighting of the village Christmas tree, then come back because the future is across the street at Toccata.

CHRISTMAS FUTURE
The Toccata Tasting Room

Taste wines you can't buy yet. Megan is planning three wines from an unreleased vintage, previewed on this night only - a glimpse at where Toccata is going next.

Christmas Future Cellar Flight
Complimentary for Wine Club Members
$20 for guests

Keep celebrating Christmas After Dark with hot mulled wine, Christmas cookies, and the Christmas Wine Window. Ring the bell and we'll surprise you with a glass of the good stuff.

There are no reservations and no schedule to follow. Start at either tasting room, cross the street, see the tree, come back for a glass.

Everyone: Sparkling wine and White Chocolate Peppermint Thomas Toffee are complimentary to start the evening.

Wine Club Members: Your three-wine Christmas Past flight and three-wine Christmas Future flight are on the house, our Christmas gift to you.

Additional library wines, Port and cheese, mulled wine, and Wine Window pours will be available for purchase throughout the night - members enjoy special pricing.

Christmases past in the bottle. Christmas Future still in the cellar. And the magical Christmas village of Solvang all lit up in between.
