Have you ever watched a Hallmark Christmas movie and wondered if there was a real Christmas village that looked like the one in the movie?

You know the scene.  A small village with lots of little stores, and everyone seems to know everyone.  The whole village is busy at work for their big Christmas celebration.

Oh, and of course, everyone comes together to fight off the big corporation that wants to turn the village into condos all the while, the mystery visitor causes the local boy or girl to fall in love.

Okay, I admit, I've watched a few of those movies myself- for research purposes, naturally...

Have you ever wanted to visit a place like that?

Renault Winery in Egg Harbor City has created something similar.  Albeit without the drama.  They call it Vintner Village and it is a winter wonderland where families can celebrate the season with fun activities for all ages.

They have a nice-size ice skating rink that's open to all age groups, and affordable at about twenty bucks per person.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to have dinner in an igloo, they offer that as well.  They offer deals for up to 6 people per igloo.

Another fun family idea would be to book one of their fire pits.  Each pit can accommodate up to 8 people, and food and drinks are available for purchase.

For those who just enjoy strolling, you can do that as well.   They have many vendors who have their wares on display and available for sale.  There is no charge for parking or entering the village, and various food and beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are available.
