Fire, Ice, and Everything Nice
By Jamie Kauffold | Jan. 20, 2024
On Jan. 16—when the high was a balmy 10 degrees—Chateau Chantal harvested their 2023 ice wine grapes. While you’ll have to wait for that vintage, you can try the “nectar of the gods” at their Ice Wine Festival on Saturday, Jan. 27. You’ll find an ice sculpture luge, outdoor fire pits with roasted treats, snowman building, trails for snowshoeing or skiing, and tours of the vineyard, production center, and cellars. The festival runs from 11am-5pm at Chateau Chantal, with a special Fire & Ice Wine Dinner offered at 6pm (currently sold out). Visit chateauchantal.com/ice-wine-festival for details or to join the waitlist for the dinner.
