Waiting on news
No 2026 dates yet
The wine association has not posted 2026 dates. The weekends above are what the event's own pattern gives, not an announcement.
Our best guess: Expected 14 to 15, 21 to 22 and 28 to 29 November 2026, the last three weekends of the month.
The listing on pecwines.com still carries the 2025 weekends with no year attached, which is how stale dates spread. Tickets normally go on sale several weeks ahead, so watch the page through October.
Check pecwines.com for the 2026 announcement ↗We checked on 30 September 2026. Nothing had been posted. Do not book travel around the date above.
What it is
Winery and cidery open houses over three late-November weekends, described by the organisers as a good-night to the sleeping vines.
Venues pour mulled wine, put on seasonal food, and run carolling, Christmas shopping and holiday festivities.
Visitors carry a passport and collect a stamp at each venue, with a prize draw at the end.
Good to know
- Dates for 2026 are not confirmed. The winegrowers' own Wassail page still shows dates that fall on Sundays and Mondays this year, which means it has not been updated since last season. Contact PECWine before you book anything around it.
- Children are welcome and some venues lay on activities. Leashed dogs are generally fine, but call the individual winery.
- It is the one weekend where a designated driver matters most. Mulled wine goes down faster than a tasting flight.
