12:10 PM Reservation Brunch With Santa

Picture this: Your little ones' faces lighting up as Santa walks into the room, that unmistakable belly laugh echoing through the space. The smell of fresh coffee cake and hot cocoa filling the air, pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, and that perfect moment when your child whispers their Christmas wish to the man in red himself.

Brunch with Santa on December 6th and 20th offers a stress-free holiday morning where your family can relax, enjoy delicious food, and create lasting memories—because you deserve a December tradition that doesn't involve crowded malls or racing against the clock.

Whether you're starting a new family tradition with toddlers experiencing their first Santa visit, continuing an annual ritual with elementary-aged believers, or gathering multiple generations for a festive morning together, this is your kind of holiday celebration. Perfect for parents who want quality Santa time without the chaos, grandparents treating the grandkids to something special, or anyone looking to trade the usual December stress for a peaceful morning filled with joy.

Reserve your 10-minute arrival window when you book. That time is your photo slot (if you purchase the photo package). After your pictures with Santa, stay and enjoy brunch for as long as you'd like. Santa will be mingling throughout the morning, so there's plenty of time for conversations, questions, and extra interactions beyond your photo moment.

The brunch spread features everything your family will love: fluffy pancakes with maple syrup, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, breakfast potatoes, biscuits with your choice of jelly or sawmill gravy, avocado toast, a fresh mixed green Greek salad, chicken tenders with honey mustard (because we know what the kids want), coffee cake, and fresh fruit.

You'll leave with full bellies, happy kids, and that rare December feeling of having done something special without the usual holiday exhaustion. If you opt for the professional photo package, you'll receive several high-quality digital images—not just one rushed shot, but multiple photos capturing genuine moments. Your children will remember this—the year Santa came to the winery, when you all laughed together over pancakes, and nobody had to rush.

Here's what makes this morning so special:

You're not navigating a packed shopping mall, waiting in a two-hour line while your toddler has a meltdown, or missing the moment because you're too stressed to enjoy it. You're at a working vineyard on a Saturday morning in December, surrounded by rolling hills and the peaceful quiet of the countryside. The pace is slow. The atmosphere is warm. The food is actually good.

Santa isn't rushing through dozens of families every hour. He's here for the morning, mingling at tables, remembering names, asking thoughtful questions. You'll watch your shy kiddo open up. You'll see your chatty one tell Santa every detail of the year. You'll witness your teenager pretend they're "too old" for this while secretly loving every second. These are the moments that become family lore, the stories you'll tell at future holiday gatherings: "Remember that year we had brunch with Santa at the winery?"

While other families are battling mall parking lots and waiting in lines, you'll be sipping hot cocoa outside in the crisp air, watching your children's wonder, and actually tasting your food. If you choose the professional photos, you'll get several beautiful digital images—not one hurried snapshot, but multiple shots capturing real smiles and genuine joy. You'll leave relaxed instead of depleted, with memories that feel authentic instead of forced.

After this experience, your family has a cherished holiday tradition to anticipate each year. You have beautiful photos (if you want them), full hearts, and a Saturday morning that actually rejuvenated you instead of draining you. December suddenly has more joy and less chaos.

We're keeping groups intimate with limited reservation windows available each morning—because every child deserves unhurried time with Santa, and we refuse to rush these moments. With only two December dates, spots fill quickly.

Not sure about the professional photos yet? No worries—you can add them when you book, or later on. Santa will be mingling throughout brunch, so you'll have plenty of opportunities for photos either way. And if you're wondering whether your kids are the right age? If they still believe (or even if they're just playing along), this is for you!
