Summer Sundown [2022]

Watch the summer sun descend behind the Blue Ridge Mountains with acoustic music from local performers from 6–8 PM! We’ll be serving up an extended food and wine menu, including shareable charcuterie boards, paninis, and our specialty Sundown Spritz. Bring lawn chairs and blankets to spread out, or get here early for lawn seating.
