Kick off the festive season with an evening of merriment, flavour and community–and get your holiday shopping done while you’re at it! We’re here to take the stress out of shopping and send you home with the perfect gifts for everyone on your list. Inspired by the festive atmosphere of European Christmas markets, we’re transforming our shop into a Christmas night market for one night only. We’ve invited some of our favourite local craft vendors to pop up with a selection of handmade gifts. There’s a little something for everyone, from the craft lover to the foodie and the cider and spirits connoisseur. We’re offering free samples of our liqueurs and a rare opportunity to sample our Merridale Makes line of culinary delights. Taste your way around the market and pick your favourites to gift, to save or to share at your holiday gatherings. Don’t miss this opportunity to take home our Speakeasy Boxes at a special price. These coveted boxes make the perfect gift for the impossible to shop for–and they come beautifully wrapped and ready to gift. Bring your friends or come as you are and get your shopping done and dusted!
