FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29TH THROUGH SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8TH

​This is our third year celebrating Oktoberfest and we want it to be memorable (again).  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 has lots of outdoor components as well and, uniquely, our vineyard and brewery can bring them as well.

While the overall Estate will be open to the public and be decorated for Oktoberfest, we will concentrate most of the Oktoberfest "feeling" inside "the oval" around our "Oktoberfest Tent" for a ticket-only experience - buying "the package" online and in advance will be important.

BEER

First, we start with the Beer of course. Spring Gate's traditional offering will be available along with our craft Oktoberfest Beer.

but with the ticket....

We will have 15 PA Craft Breweries best German Style and Oktoberfest beers on tap for this celebration.  They will be priced at $4, with three special beers at $3 during Friday night happy hour.

FOOD/FOOD TRUCKS

Of course, we will have food, German and not German food from food trucks on Friday, and a dozen on Saturday and Sunday. From chicken to sausage, from bbq to tacos, it should all be there at various times in those two weeks.  See the list below.

MUSIC

Of course, we will have music, both Germanic and American. It will be in the Oktoberfest Tent for those who buy the Oktoberfest ticket.

FUN

We will do some traditional German fun things, including barrel rolling and pretzel necklace making.  Stay tuned for the list on Facebook.

WINE

Of course, we will have wine, including that favored German wine, Riesling!  But, we will also have some other wineries providing other German Style wines as well, including Allegro Winery.

THE OKTOBERFEST TENT

We have decided this is the year of the tent, and on our famous oval we'll deploy 5,000 square foot of tent'age for Germania fun.  This is where the music will be for both weekends.  It will be the center of the ticketed action.

ALL WEEKEND, ALL WINE SLUSHY
