Celebration, renewal and joy fill the air as we approach the moment between a year that passes and another that approaches. New Year's Eve is a moment of contemplation, an instant in which time seems to freeze to remind us of the achievements, the challenges overcome and the precious memories that shaped our journey over the last twelve months.
This season, we seek to offer our visitors a memorable experience through unforgettable programs, and there is no better combination than combining charming environments, good company, and of course, excellent wines! For those who wish to take this celebration to another level, we are pleased to present two special programs, carefully designed to make your New Year's Eve a memorable experience!
