Winetoberfest at 12 Ridges Vineyard!

Event Date

Friday, October 23, 2020
12:00pm - 6:00pm

 Come celebrate Winetoberfest at 12 Ridges Vineyard during our one-day festival on Friday, October 23rd from 12-6pm! We will have food, wine, music, and fun for the whole family to enjoy.

As a performing musician, Matty Metcalfe wears many hats...one of his favorites is the Alpine feather cap beloved by anyone who has seen ‘The Sound of Music’. Donning full lederhosen from his mother's Bavarian home country, Mr. Metcalfe delights audiences of all ages with his one-man polka band. Using a modern ‘digital accordion’ that features a 'full band' of Oktoberfest instruments and a drum pedal for extra 'danceability', Mr. Metcalfe leads audiences in favorite sing alongs like the Beer Barrel Polka, Danke Schoen, and Edelweiss while seasoning his set list with your favorite German and Polish waltzes. Come raise a stein (or Glass of Wine!) and cheer ‘Ein Prosit’ with the best one-man polka band this side of the Danube!
