Yuletide at Montalvo: A Holiday Tradition

Do you like to get into the holiday spirit early? If so, you're in luck: even before Black Friday, the grand tradition of Yuletide at Montalvo returns this November 16-18 with a weekend full of festivities!

All weekend long, our Yuletide Marketplace will feature three distinct areas: the Country Store, featuring handcrafted jewelry, dishware, and more, plus snack foods made by our Montalvo Service Group; the Sewing Boutique, where you can buy knitted decorative clothes, blankets, and more; and the Cafe—the perfect place to take a break from shopping for a cup of joe and a light snack. 

Our Intimate Holiday Tea on Saturday, November 17 is already sold out -- but spaces still remain in our kids-only Breakfast with Santa on Sunday, November 18 at 9:30am and our Vintage Fashion Show & Holiday Tea later that afternoon at 12:30pm.

Whether you're looking for unique, handmade gifts, want to bring your loved one to a classy afternoon tea in our beautiful venue, or a parent hoping to give your child a fun holiday experience, Yuletide is the place to be. Don't miss it—admission is free (just pay $5 for on-site parking)!

Last Chance for Jim Messina Tickets

If you're a fan of Jim Messina, this is your last chance to grab tickets to see him on Thursday, November 1 at 7:30pm in our intimate Carriage House Theatre!

An undisputed expert in the fine art of making hit music, Messina’s legacy of musical prowess spans five decades, three acclaimed rock super groups, a vibrant solo career, as well as a dizzying array of game­changing producing and engineering credits including such luminaries as The Doors, Lee Michaels, and Herb Alpert. As one half of Loggins & Messina; co-founder of the country-rock band Poco; and band member and key contributor to Buffalo Springfield, he has left an indelible footprint on rock music.

Fewer than 20 tickets remain for this show, so get yours today!
