This exciting 2 day event will feature a balloon glow, tethered rides, chartered flights, vendor fair, live music, kid activities, and much more!

Friday night will take place at the main tasting room lawn (5178 Richmond Highway). Balloons will create an extraordinary scene as they fire up and "glow" just after sunset!

Note that the balloon glow will be near sunset and not last all evening.

On Saturday, gates open at 2pm for an entire afternoon of fun! We will open our entire FIELD OF FUN featuring our rides, slides, and games for all ages! Live music will be on our big concert stage! Enjoy food trucks and all kinds of beverages! A vendor fair will be available for your shopping pleasure. Grape Crusher Monster Ride Truck will be thrilling riders.
