Christmastime in Cleveland is downright magical. This, of course, is also true of our neighbors throughout Northeast Ohio. Our vibrant communities are dreamy when coated in snow, and many are worthy of a road trip from Cleveland. About an hour south of our lovely home is a vineyard, bistro, and overnight destination that transforms into a winter wonderland once the snow arrives. This wonderland is none other than Gervasi Vineyard! They offer some of the most magical winter carriage rides near Cleveland, and this enchanting destination merits a road trip.

Gervasi Vineyard is an enchanting destination down in Canton, and it is well worth the trip from Cleveland.

The charming estate offers much to see and do, and the on-site restaurant is a romantic place to warm up.
