The holidays always bring a special kind of charm to Louisa County, and this year is no exception. As the pace starts to slow and the calendar fills with gatherings, Fifty-Third Winery & Vineyard is offering two festive events to make this Holiday season a memorable one. Whether you’re a longtime local or planning a winter weekend visit, these experiences are a great way to enjoy good wine, good food, and a little time to unwind.
This year’s highlights include the Savor the Season ticketed event on Saturday, December 13th, and a one-day-only Port-Style Wine Tasting Experience on December 20th.
Savor the Season – December 13th
On Saturday, December 13th, Fifty-Third Winery will host a Savor the Season gathering—a relaxed afternoon built around thoughtfully paired wines and small plates. It’s a great opportunity to settle into the holiday spirit, taste through wines perfect for seasonal meals, and enjoy a cozy winter moment in the tasting room.

Guests will sample a lineup of festive wines alongside bites created to complement them—a simple, enjoyable way to explore flavors that fit right in with holiday celebrations or make thoughtful gifts for family and friends.
Port-Style Wine Tasting Experience – December 20th
On Saturday, December 20th, from 11am to 5pm, the winery will host something a little different: a guided tasting of four port-style wines from their cellar. This event is open to both Wine Club members and non-members, making it a nice option for anyone curious about richer, bolder wines during the winter season. Wine Club members enjoy complimentary access, and non-members are welcome to join for a $17 tasting fee.
Fine Line Catering will be preparing small plates specifically designed to pair with these fortified-style wines, adding an extra layer to the experience. If you’ve never tried port-style wines—or if you’re already a fan—this is a unique chance to explore them in a relaxed, approachable setting. No reservation needed!
Warm Holiday Wishes
To everyone spending time in Louisa this season—whether you’re visiting loved ones, exploring the area, or simply carving out a quiet moment for yourself—we wish you a warm, happy, and safe holiday. And if your plans bring you to Fifty-Third Winery & Vineyard for Savor the Season on December 13th or the Port-Style Wine Tasting Experience on December 20th, the team will be glad to welcome you.
