Saturday Night at AV Winery & Brewery: Good Vibes, Great Food, and Live Music!

We’re turning up the volume on fun this Saturday night at the winery & brewery! Local favorite John Schmitt is taking center stage to rock the show with feel-good songs you can’t help but sing along to.

Think piano bar energy – but with a guitar, cold drinks, and you as part of the show.

Unwind with your favorite glass of wine, cider, beer, lager, or mead, and let the live music set the mood.

And don’t miss out on mouthwatering eats—wood-fired pizzas will be sold on-site to keep you fueled through the night.

No cover. No pressure. Just great music, amazing food, and a whole lot of fun.
