SETTLE IN
Your holiday escape begins the moment you arrive. Settle into your room, take in the seasonal details throughout the Chateau, and wander the estate as the afternoon gives way to evening. There is nowhere else to be and nothing that needs to happen just yet.
A TOAST TO THE SEASON
Make your way to the Winery as afternoon light settles across the vines. Taste Chateau Elan wines, discover a new favorite and raise a glass to the days ahead. Select a bottle for the evening or something special to bring home for the holiday table.
DINNER AT MARC
As evening falls, settle into Marc for an elegant dinner at the Chateau. Thoughtfully prepared dishes, exceptional wines and the warmth of the dining room create the perfect setting for a first holiday evening. Take your time. There is nowhere else to be.
AN EVENING UNDER THE LIGHTS
After dinner, step outside and let the evening unfold. Follow the glow through the estate, where twinkling lights illuminate the paths and holiday décor transforms the Chateau after dark. Take a stroll. Steal a quiet moment. Let the season sparkle.
A LEISURELY MORNING
Let the morning unfold slowly. Linger over breakfast, enjoy a quiet coffee and take in the winter landscape before beginning a day filled with holiday traditions.
COOKIES WITH SANTA
Head to Studio 100 for a festive baking experience made for the whole family. Roll, decorate and create something sweet before meeting Santa. A little flour, a little frosting and a memory worth taking home.
A CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON
Spend the afternoon discovering the season throughout the estate. Browse the boutiques, find beautifully considered gifts, enjoy festive bites and drinks, and take in the sights and sounds of the holidays at the Chateau.
AFTERNOON TEA
When the afternoon calls for something quieter, settle in for Afternoon Tea. Delicate pastries, savory bites and perfectly steeped tea make for an elegant pause beneath the glass atrium. Let the afternoon linger.
FIRESIDE
As evening settles over the estate, gather around the fire. Toast marshmallows beneath the winter sky, share something sweet and settle into the warmth of the moment. Some holiday traditions are best enjoyed slowly.
BREAKFAST WITH SANTA
Begin your final morning with a little holiday magic. Gather around the table for breakfast with Santa, festive fare and the anticipation of the season. For little ones, it is a morning to remember. For everyone else, a chance to see the holidays through their eyes.
A WINTER WALK
After breakfast, bundle up and wander. Follow the paths through the estate, stroll among the vines or simply take in the quiet beauty of Chateau Elan in winter. The season has a different kind of beauty here.
FAREWELL AT SARAZEN’S
Settle in for one final lunch at Sarazen’s overlooking the golf course. Order something seasonal, raise one last glass and let the afternoon stretch a little longer.
UNTIL NEXT TIME
Before you leave, take one final walk through the estate. One last look at the lights. One last breath of winter air. One last moment at the Chateau. Then take the feeling of the season with you.
