Mark your calendar for Oktoberfest at Davesté Vineyards
by Lara Tumer
Davesté Vineyards is located in nearby Troutman.
While beer typically takes a backseat when it comes to the beverage selections at a winery, Davesté Vineyards in Troutman has a selection worth celebrating. While the 15-year-old vineyard originally offered an assortment of bottled beer from alternative breweries, they eventually began developing their own. Since many people still don’t know about the vineyard’s unique selection of house made beer, Davesté is planning a fall festival in mid-October, which will spotlight their craft beer selection, brewed right on site from an artisan well.
The festival (which will be held predominately outdoors) is meant to be a family-friendly affair, encouraging anyone who wants to attend to celebrate the fall season and support small local businesses with a selection of food trucks, craft and boutique vendors, and live music all weekend long. The outdoor venue encourages anyone to bring picnic blankets and lawn chairs for extra seating. Tented areas throughout the vineyard will provide plenty of coverage in the event of inclement weather.
the beer:
Drink specials will be offered all weekend long, with a focus on the vineyard’s seasonal pumpkin ale and Oktoberfest. Anyone who wants to take some beer to go can stock up by purchasing a growler. The other in-house brews will also be available including a Blonde Ale, Kolsh, Amber Ale, New England IPA, Stout, and Krystalweizen.
the food:
On Saturday, Oct.16, attendees can expect some of the area’s favorite food trucks including gourmet bratwurst, in celebration of the Oktoberfest theme. Duck Donuts will be providing warm, fresh donuts throughout the day. On Sunday, Oct. 17, in addition to bratwursts, Lobster Dogs food truck will be serving up their famous sandwiches and Just Add Wine will offer artisan charcuterie and cheese boards for snacking.
the tunes:
Bands will be playing all day throughout both days of the festival, with one of the vineyard’s most popular and well received musicians – Grammy recognized Scott Marvill and band on Sunday. Polka style rock and acoustic country are some of the alternative genres that will be taking the stage.
classes:
Saturday, attendees can take part in a candle making class with Old Oak Market. Sunday, Just Add Wine will be hosting a charcuterie board design class. Both of these pop ups are ticket events and anyone who wants to participate is encouraged to register ahead of time as there is limited attendance.
