Virtue Cider definitely knows how to put the magic into the winter season in West Michigan. To start out the new year, our friends at nearby Virtue Cider are focusing on creating a Sustainable New Year with events that center on cultivating the self and the Earth. We love this concept and always enjoy the fest, the magic, and the fun happening at Virtue. And, it\u2019s only a short drive from Wickwood Inn.<\/p>\n
Their weekend activities continue with their ever-popular and always interesting Hygge DIY\u00a0 Series<\/strong> (Pronounced HOO’-Guh, a Danish word for coziness and warmth) where you can learn a cozy indoor craft while sipping cider. Upcoming Hygge DIY events include: Beeswax Candle Making, Seed Starting, and Embroidery. These events are fun, informative, and include a pint of your favorite cider.<\/p>\n Later this month, they’ll be celebrating the anniversary of the state of Michigan. That’s right, it’s a birthday party for the state of Michigan<\/strong> on\u00a0on Jan. 26. There will be cupcakes and Michigan trivia to test what we really know about this great state.<\/p>\n The Winter Magic experiences continue with Percheron Sleigh Rides<\/strong> and Snowshoe Trail Tours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Of course, right now we’re eagerly awaiting February’s main event: the 5th Annual Wassail Festival<\/strong>!<\/p>\n This is an event full of magic you don’t want to miss. Join Virtue for its 5th annual traditional march into the apple orchard. Get ready to parade across the farm, among bonfires surrounded by snow to bless our trees for a bountiful 2020 harvest.<\/p>\n Expect horse-drawn sleigh rides, live ice sculpting from the\u00a0Ice Guru, snowshoe tours, cider, and traditional English fare\u00a0followed by a live music processional & a proper farm rock show with Jon Langford (of Mekons, Waco Brothers) & 3 Blokes from Chicago.<\/p>\n This is just some of the Winter Magic that happens in Saugatuck during January, February, and March. At Wickwood Inn, we treasure this time. We relish the different pace. Go ahead. Gift yourself a relaxing, romantic winter getaway. <\/u>Embrace the opportunity to unwind and reset. We’ll pamper you morning, noon and night with Farm To Table Brunch, Sweets & Treats, and Sips & Small Plates Happy Hour. You can indulge in a fully-customized in-room massage. Or, simply sit and read in front of your private fireplace.<\/p>\n Experience the Winter Magic when you stay with us<\/u> in downtown Saugatuck\u2026at the Wickwood Inn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Winter Magic On Virtue Cider Farm | Winter Experiences You Remember There Is Magic In Virtue\u2019s Winter Events Virtue Cider definitely knows how to put the magic into the winter season in West Michigan.
