Holiday Wassail Walking Tour

Saturday, December 14 at 3 pm and 4:30 pm


“Was Hail”

Purchase your VIP ticket to follow along on a guided 60 minute holiday wassail experience tour. Victorian novelists Washington Irving and Charles Dickens elevated this idealized view of what Christmas could be with warm and welcoming homes for families and friends to gather around the wassail bowl, as they might carol from house to house. At each home folks would give and receive a simple greeting. The toast, “was hail,” means be in good health or be fortunate. The reply “drink hail” was given.

You’ll knock on the doors of our historic houses and enjoy food and beverages along the way.
