Embark on an evening of seasonal custom cocktails and decadent chocolate to get you in the holiday spirit! From the seasonal warmth of The Local Store, we’ll depart on our festively decorated (and heated!) trolley to visit River Bend Winery & Distillery.

Here, you’ll enjoy a brief craft talk and a Maple Cream cocktail. This glass of yumminess is made with their award-winning Sap Happy Maple Vodka, cream, and cinnamon.

You’ll also get to sample mouthwatering, expertly crafted Sweet Driver Chocolates and find out what makes them so darn delicious.

Then, we’ll head to River Prairie in Altoona for a stop at Helix Wine, Craft Bar & Cafe for a sample of their wildly popular cranberry-spice Yule Mule.

To end the night, we’ll meander to The Lakely to relax in the cozy fireside space with the final cocktail of the evening: The Charles Dickens, a black currant and orange-infused mulled wine with maple syrup and spiced brandy, served hot.

If you find yourself getting hungry, Helix and The Lakely have food and small bites available to order upon arrival, or you could even sneak in the purchase of an extra drink (or chocolates)!

Regarding accessibility, the trolley requires entry up three steps from the curb, with a solid handrail on both sides.
