But this year we're recommending something unique — an event that blends festive music and décor with one of our favorite things — local wine. (Full disclosure, this event is presented by New Hampshire Magazine.) The fifth annual NH Jingle Bells Winery Tour starts November 18 and continues on weekends through December 17, with over ten different wineries opening their doors for special tastings. 2023 Event info Weekends from November 18 to December 17, 2023 This is a self-guided tour of over ten wineries located around the state.
