Wine Times

On December 9 and 16, sommelier Stephane Peltier hosts a Champagne-and-sparkling wine gala for guests. He’ll pour 12 effervescent wines during a tasting reception, followed by a festive four-course dinner ($108). Can’t make it during December? Stephane holds wine-and-dinner events on the third Tuesday of every month. If you’re staying at the resort during these times, the casual dining room remains open for non-participating guests.

Woodlands Resort & Inn: 125 Parsons Road, Summerville, SC 29483; www.woodlandsinn.com or 1-800-774-9999. Rates from $325. Three-course dinners range from $62, four-course dinners from $75, and five-course dinners from $98.

"Dreamy Getaway" is from the December 2008 issue of Southern Living.
