4th Annual Galentine’s Snowshoe & Sleepover

About This Event

Join the Wine Hiking Society on a Galentine’s snowshoe adventure and spend two cozy nights in a spacious 24-foot yurt nestled in a hillside grove, offering breathtaking views and stunning sunsets.

While there, we’ll enjoy a scenic snowshoeing journey through a winter wonderland, go sledding, and play games around a cozy wood-burning stove.

On the final day, we’ll bid adieu and head home, cherishing the memories of our winter wonderland getaway!
