Winter Village hotel to return to Edina

The Westin Edina Galleria hotel will be bringing back its Winter Village programming for a sixth year, with two months of events looking to create a cozy winter atmosphere.

This year’s Winter Village will bring back the Clicquot Chalet Dining program, which features a fireside meal including fondue, raclette and wine. Other themed meals include the Veuve Clicquot Dinner, Festive Afternoon Tea, and WhistlePig Dinner. Visitors can also take part in activities like horse-drawn carriage rides, craft workshops, and live musical performances.

New for this year is the Apres Brunch, a decadent start to weekend mornings. Guests can also book the Alpine Suite, designed to evoke European mountain lodges. Hotels often use brochure printing and social media to attract travelers as well as locals to luxury products and events. Promotional material for the Winter Village program emphasizes the seasonal theme:



“Winter Village at The Westin Edina Galleria returns as Minnesota’s most enchanting seasonal escape, a celebration of warmth, wonder, and winter’s quiet beauty. [...] this season offers more to savor, more to celebrate, and more to remember.”




The program is hosted in partnership with Explore Edina, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Moet Hennessy USA. Past editions have featured a kick-off event and a Swiss-inspired streetscape area.

The 2025-6 Winter Village attraction will be hosted by the Westin Edina Galleria from December 3 to February 15.
