What to Expect

Holiday Finds in the Reserve Room

A Holiday Pop-Up Maker’s Market at Gioia dell’Amore Cellars

The holidays are a little more special when the gifts you give have a story behind them. This Sunday, we’re turning the Reserve Room into a little holiday shopping destination, filled with handcrafted treasures, thoughtful gifts, and plenty of inspiration for the season ahead.

Browse unique jewelry, discover thoughtfully made botanical skincare, and find something unexpected for the people on your holiday list. You’ll also have the opportunity to shop directly with the artists behind these wonderful collections.

And here’s a little something especially close to our hearts: SunStar Soapery creates special wine soaps featuring Gioia wines, available exclusively at our winery. They’re a wonderful way to take a little Gioia home—or give someone a gift they won’t find just anywhere!

Make an Afternoon of It!

The market is just one part of Sunday’s fun. Enjoy live music, grab something delicious from our food truck, sip a glass of your favorite Gioia wine, and take your time browsing the Reserve Room. It’s the perfect excuse to get a little holiday shopping done while enjoying a relaxing afternoon at the vineyard.

Whether you’re getting a head start on holiday gifts, searching for something unique, or simply looking for a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon, we’d love to see you.
