Holiday Cookie Workshop at Magnetic Hill Winery: Decorate Cookies with Wine and Vineyard Views in Moncton

Perched on Front Mountain with rows of vines sliding down its slopes toward the city, Magnetic Hill Winery offers a holiday workshop that turns cookie decorating into an evening event. The Holiday Cookie Workshop with Eden of Cutter Perfection Cookie Co combines three hours of hands‑on instruction, a glass of wine, and panoramic vineyard views at Magnetic Hill Winery, 860 Front Mountain Rd, Moncton NB E1G 3H3. It’s geared for adults (minimum age 19) and priced at $65 per guest (plus tax & fees). In the tasting room, long communal tables are set with six baked signature cookies, three-color piping kits and step‑by‑step worksheets. Eden walks participants through outlining, flooding, brush strokes and colour‑mixing so novices leave with polished cookies and practical technique. The evening follows a tidy itinerary: doors at 6PM, instruction from 6:30–8:30PM and a gentle wrap-up by 9PM. Included in your ticket are piping bags, recipes, a colour‑mixing guide, a boxed set of cookies to take home, a signature artisan cookie, snacks from the popcorn bar and one glass of wine; additional drinks and small plates such as charcuterie and marinated olives are available for purchase. The setting is what elevates the class. Floor‑to‑ceiling windows frame the vineyard rows and the low granite ridgeline of Front Mountain; on clear evenings you can see the city lights of Moncton beyond the vines. The local microclimate supports cold‑hardy varietals, and the visible vine training and trellising make the room feel firmly connected to place. In winter, snow on the mountain contrasts with the warm glow inside — a seasonal backdrop that makes decorating holiday cookies feel distinctly local. Practical tips sharpen the experience: the tasting room is heated but winter road conditions can include ice and snow, so allow extra travel time and dress for the drive. Check in with the host on arrival to confirm your reservation. Workshop sizes are intimate to allow close instruction, so book early if you want a specific seat. Bring an appetite if you plan to sample bottles or order charcuterie. What makes this workshop a standout is the way it pairs a craft lesson with a working winery’s landscape. It’s not just a class; it’s a social hour that teaches technique, offers tasting culture and puts Moncton’s wine country on display. For visitors and locals alike seeking a seasonal, hands‑on evening with a scenic backdrop, this workshop delivers a memorable way to celebrate the holidays. Arrive early to claim parking and panoramic window seats; check in with staff at the Magnetic Hill Winery host table. The class makes a thoughtful gift, a creative date-night option, or a small-group celebration—especially during the holiday season when the winery dresses its tasting room with twinkling lights.
