NEW: We thought we'd try something new this year at our Brickyard Hill Vineyard (about 4 miles from the winery) on three Thursday's this summer, we're calling it "Sunset Wine and Vines." Fireside
Winery is bringing live music to the vineyard. Feel free to bring
your own wine and picnic basket and enjoy the beautiful views and
relaxing music within Fireside Winery's Brickyard Hill Vineyard.
Admission: $10 per person. Cash only accepted at the vineyard.
In event of rain, the performance will take place back at Fireside Winery.
