Wine Country is making it easy to celebrate the start of the New Year in grand fashion. No fewer than six wineries will be hosting festive New Years Eve parties, many with special themes. Thornton Winery for example, invites its guests to stroll down the red carpet for an evening with the stars during its Hollywood Nights gala. For $175 per person enjoy the sounds of King Biscuit Review, a gourmet meal prepared by Chef Liam Griffin and a balloon drop and champagne toast. At Wiens Family Cellars, New Year’s Eve is all about a Flashback to the ‘80s.

Tickets: $160 per person.
