In honor of the magical holiday season, London has unveiled plans for its first-ever mulled wine festival.
The festival will welcome guests to the Covent Garden in mid-November to enjoy festively spiced wines from local restaurants. Some of the noted eateries on the list include Gordon Ramsay’s Heddon Street and Chez Antoinette. Each restaurant will have a booth set up within the market area. The entire market will also be decorated with over 100,000 Christmas lights, 40 mistletoe chandeliers, a large illuminated Christmas tree and a massive 22-foot tall silver reindeer.
Additionally, there will be non-alcoholic ciders on hand for those who are not interested in the wine. This unique and highly seasonal mulled wine festival kicks off on November 12, 2015. The event will be open for three days from noon until 9 pm.
