Advance Ticket Purchase Highly Recommended

A beloved tradition
The Tour de Noel, sponsored by St. John’s Episcopal Church in Ross, is a beloved tradition for visitors throughout the Bay Area. Our vans will take guests on a tour of four stunning homes in the Bay Area or Ross/Kentfield area -- each beautifully decorated for the holidays. Guests can join us at the church for a delicious and satisfying holiday lunch, and an opportunity to purchase homemade treats and seasonal items at the Tour de Noel Christmas boutique, which is open all day.

In its 22nd year, yet brand new
This year we’ve given the tour a new look and feel. We’re Home for the Holidays as each of the four residences on this year’s tour are well lived-in and well loved, with a range of intriguing styles and histories. From classic to cutting edge, there’s something for everyone this year.
