Spend a relaxing autumn afternoon enjoying live music, local artisans, thoughtfully curated wine and food pairings, and all that makes Blue Sky Vineyard a favorite fall destination.
Whether you’re continuing a ColorFest tradition or visiting for the first time, join us in celebrating the hard work in the vineyard, the excitement of a new vintage, and the simple pleasures of wine, music, and good company. Come sip, shop, and celebrate at Blue Sky Vineyard.
Live Music: Jackson Gypsies (Latin Pop/Rock / Jazz). Plus: Burgers & Brats on the Grill, Local Artisans & Vendors, Pop-Up Pairing & More.
