Your Company Holiday Party Should Be at KC Wine Co’s Jingle Bar. Here's Why.
Every year, the person responsible for planning the company holiday party faces the same search: somewhere that feels festive without feeling generic, somewhere the team will talk about afterward, and somewhere that doesn't require a six-month venue deposit and a catering contract the size of a small lease agreement.
Jingle Bar at KC Wine Co is the answer that more Kansas City companies are landing on, and once you see what it offers, it's easy to understand why.
Set inside the Black Barn at KC Wine Co, 13875 S. Gardner Rd. in Olathe, Jingle Bar transforms the space into an immersive holiday experience designed for groups. Think holiday lights, festive decor, specialty cocktails built around the season, hard cider flights, holiday tunes, and photo ops good enough that people pull out their phones without being asked. It's the kind of venue that does the atmosphere-building for you so the only thing left is showing up and celebrating with your team.
Private Jingle Bar events for companies are available Monday through Thursday evenings from November through January, with a minimum of 30 attendees. Catering and drink packages are available, and an events specialist handles the booking and planning details so you're not coordinating every element yourself.
The drink lineup is worth mentioning specifically because it elevates the evening in a way a hotel bar tab doesn't: signature cocktails like Jingle Juice, the Merry Mojito, the Mistletoe Marg, and White Sangria Slush are available alongside KC Wine Co's full wine list and hard cider flights. It's genuinely festive in a way that a generic open bar isn't.
A few things that make Jingle Bar work particularly well for corporate groups: the farm winery setting outside of downtown KC gives the event a distinct, memorable feel that separates it from the Overland Park hotel conference room circuit. The Black Barn is a beautiful, warm space that photographs well. And the combination of specialty drinks, decor, and photo ops means your team has built-in talking points throughout the evening.
