The Dagga Boys – No Food Truck

The Dagga Boys – No Food Truck

The Dagga Boys return to our slice of Free Union paradise to kick off the weekend with their awesome “lively old-timey” sounds! Friday, January 17th, from 6 to 8:30pm. No cover. Open to all.

The Dagga Boys bring together two of Central Viriginia’s most popular singer/songwriters and guitar pickers – Ken Farmer (of Antiques Road Show fame) and Jon Spear. Their sound neatly blends Ken’s background as an extraordinary blues & bluegrass picker and Jon’s penchant for old school rock and folk music, a combination that will delight and entertain you.

The term Dagga Boy describes the old and sometimes solitary Cape Buffalo which, despite its age, should never to be underestimated and can take down a full-grown lion.

Keep up with the musicians via their respective Facebook pages:

There will not be food trucks during the coldest months of winter. As always, we welcome you to bring your picnics, pick up take-out on your way, or put together a DYI Charcuterie plate with the assorted items that we carry in the Tasting Room – cheese, crackers, meats, tapenades, etc.

Our live music events typically take place within the beautiful space of the glass conservatory, our indoor tropical oasis. On occasion, the music may perform outdoors, under the eaves of the back deck. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available first come, no reservations.

Picnics are welcome throughout the property, barring any outside alcohol. We have plentiful seating areas both inside the conservatory, and outdoors along the back deck, as well as in front of the conservatory, and there are several picnic tables spread across the lakefront. Feel free to bring your blankets/chairs. Pop up tents and personal grills are permitted for use in the overflow grassy tailgate and picnic areas.

Glass House Winery wines are available by the bottle and glass, and traditional tastings are being conducted at the Tasting Room Bar. Wine Flights are also available, these are great for those who prefer to do a self guided tasting, simply order at the bar and take back to your table.

Children are welcome, please supervise them at all times. Consider bringing along games or other items to entertain them while seated.

Well behaved dogs are also welcome but must remain on their leash at all times.
