The holiday cheer continues at the Miramonte Resort & Spa. Indian Wells’ Mediterranean- inspired gem kicked off its five week Desert Holidays Program the day after Thanksgiving with the unveiling of its popular gingerbread village. Upcoming yuletide season activities at the resort include holiday story time every Friday at 7 p.m., Santa’s Workshop with crafts and activities on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., chef-led cooking classes for adults on Saturdays at 3 p.m., wine tastings and pairings on Wednesdays at 3 p.m., and roasting chestnuts and s'mores over and open fire on Friday and Saturday nights. What’s more, every Saturday at 5 p.m. local students will perform favorite holiday tunes, and on Thursdays from 5-8 p.m. multi-instrumentalist composer Rafael Soto entertains audiences with his spirited acoustical variations. Grove Artisan Kitchen is also featuring a globally-inspired epicurean dining experience with rotating “Holiday Dining around the World” menu selections.
