A New Chapter for Wine Garden

Known for its seasonal summer pop-ups, Wine Garden is stepping into the holiday spotlight for the first time. "We wanted to bring some Black Girl Magic to the holiday season," said co-founder Nazaret Teclesambet. The idea was inspired by increased demand for Wine Garden to host events outside the summer months. Their collaboration with Maronski and DEL adds even more culinary and creative power to this visionary experience.

This enchanting winter experience offers Philadelphians and visitors alike a chance to support a Black-owned, women-led business while stepping into a world of holiday whimsy, celebration, and tradition. Tickets are available for purchase now, with special packages for couples, groups, family outings and holiday buy-outs. Groups and organizations can reach out to Wine Garden for more information.
