Mark Your Calendar: Ahwahnee Hotel's Signature Events

Yosemite's venerable Ahwahnee Hotel hosts three signature events each year: Vintners' Holidays (wine tasting), Bracebridge Dinner (Old-fashioned Christmas celebration) and Chefs' Holidays (cooking demonstrations and dinner).

Dates for 2008/2009 have been set. Vintner's Holidays will take place November 2 through December 4, the Bracebridge runs December 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 24 and 26 and Chef's Holidays run January 11 through February 5, 2009. People with out-of-date information may try to tell you that it's impossible to get reservations for the Bracebridge Dinner, but they're wrong. However, it's a popular event and you'll be better off to reserve as early as you can.
