TWO WEEKENDS:  OCTOBER 5-7 AND OCTOBER 12-14
OKTOBERFEST BEGINS AT 5 PM FRIDAY, 12 NOON SATURDAY & SUNDAY BOTH WEEKENDS​

​This is our fourth year celebrating Oktoberfest and we want it to be memorable! For two weekends, we will try our best to bring you something that resembles the traditional Munich Oktoberfest feeling on our 60 acre farm estate in Central Pennsylvania. In Germany, Oktoberfest certainly has its indoor component, but it also has lots of outdoor components, and uniquely our vineyard and brewery can bring them as well.

EXCLUSIVE OKTOBERFEST BAR AND HAPPY HOURS - TICKETED EVENTS

​While the overall Estate will be open to the public and be decorated for Oktoberfest, we’ll  have our Exclusive Oktoberfest Bar and Happy Hours. The Exclusive Oktoberfest Bar and Happy Hours will take place under our big tent in our oval along with other fun! We’ll have our XL pong cans out to play with friends, some time slots for barrel rolling and other games. For a ticket-only experience – buying the Exclusive Oktoberfest Bar and Happy Hour Ticket online and in advance for $15 will be important. Tickets will be $25 at the door. See what's included in the ticket package below.
NOTE:  This Event is Rain or Shine, no refunds. Must be 21+ with a valid ID to redeem ticket. Please print out order confirmation email and bring to the registration table in the Oval to check in. Tickets can only be bought at the door starting at 6PM on the Friday each Oktoberfest weekend starts.
