More of Everything!-  We upgraded the facility this year to handle more people and we appreciate the wonderful people that support the vineyard and band concerts and have tried to improve the facility with these addtions.  Thanks again to everyone for their support and attendance.  

Satuday music nights run May 29 through September25, 2010- we begin at 7pm and it is $5 per person at the gate.  We have Ropp Cheeses for sale with crackers and also Butch's Pizza and guests may also bring in their own food we just DO NOT allow outside beverages of any kind since we sell wine, beer, soda and water. Most music nights are well attended so it is always a good idea to bring your own lawn chairs or a blanket to sit on.  Reserved seating is available on our deck areas for an additional $5 per person, it is reserved by calling ahead and is done on a first come first serve basis.  Again, there are some evenings that all deck spaces may be reserved so please always bring a lawn chair or blanket for lawn seating.  See you this Summer & Fall!

Pets- we ask that you do not bring dogs, cats or other pets to our property.
