Feast Day of Santa Lucia

Celebrate the feast day of Santa Lucia with wines from the Santa Lucia Highlands on Friday, December 13th.

Santa Lucia’s Day signals the arrival of Christmas. Santa Lucia was a third-century martyr who used a candle-lit wreath to light the way as she brought food and aid to Christians in hiding. Her feast once coincided with the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year before calendar reforms, and her feast day has become a Christian festival of light.

Open a bottle of Santa Lucia Highlands wine and toast the coming solstice and the longer days ahead! Raise a toast to the light. Tag your post with #SantaLuciaHighlands.
