The lights and magic of Christmas at Gervasi Vineyard Resort & Spa (GV) will be on full display starting mid-November through January 8. It is a top priority every year at GV to inspire a joyous Christmas spirit for all who visit over the holidays.<\/p>\n

The decorating and design teams have outdone themselves this year with a sleigh full of new decorations, incorporating more reds and greens and a life-size Santa Claus inside The Cave. Guests will be enchanted from the moment they turn into the famous GV entrance lane.<\/p>\n

While the Christmas lights and many displays will certainly ignite Christmas spirit for all, the many family holiday events, and of course the wines<\/a>, the spirits<\/a> and the dining experiences at GV<\/a> are sure to make the holidays extraordinary.<\/p>\n

\u201cHolidays are very important to Gervasi Vineyard,\u201d said Andrea Hartman, marketing director. \u201cThe property has become a tradition for many to come and visit, take pictures and enjoy the holiday offerings.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s new in 2023 for the holiday d\u00e9cor? Starting with this year\u2019s theme which is \u201cSleigh the Holidays with Gervasi Vineyard\u201d.<\/p>\n

There are many new decorations around the property including The Villa Grande<\/a> which will have more traditional colors such as candy cane reds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe colors will really pop this year with the Villa Grande remodel. Also, The Cave<\/a> and The Spa<\/a>, our newest outlets on the property, will have holiday d\u00e9cor including a life-size Santa holding a Christmas tree. There will also be new light-up packages by the Barrel Wall. Millions of lights are used throughout GV each year to bring the holiday spirit alive,\u201d said Andrea.<\/p>\n

Plus, there will be seven Christmas trees in full d\u00e9cor around Gervasi. Each venue will also have its own set of holiday decorations.<\/p>\n

The Design Team
\n<\/strong>General Manager Scott Swaldo and Marketplace Retail Buyer Christi Blackerby lead the team in the holiday decorating. Dee, Gervasi\u2019s decorator, meets with Scott and Christi to map out each outlet and how the decorations should look at each.<\/p>\n

Once all of the colors, lights, ornaments, wreaths and layouts are determined, it takes an entire week to get everything decorated for the holiday season.<\/p>\n

It is a mission filled with joy, love and appreciation for all who love to experience GV over the holiday season.<\/p>\n

These are always extremely popular so it is best to make a reservation<\/a> as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
