Tastebud Takeover at WaterFire Vineyard

Get your tastebuds ready for a takeover! We’re expertly pairing drink tasting with small bites once a month in 2025 that are worth toasting! Our first takeover is on February 1st, and four events are on the calendar. It is $12 a person at each location. You will make your way around to each location and pay as you go along. Pick your favorite stops or visit them all. The menu with a map for each stop will be posted to our social media beforehand. The event starts at 1 PM and goes until 6 PM on each designated date.

2025 Tastebud themes and dates are:

February 1st, Sandwich Showdown (We’re starting the event with a contest between locations. Vote for your favorite!)

March 1st, Culinary Kaleidoscope (Expect something with color pizazz that is just as wonderful to eat as it is to look at!)

April 5th, Little Bites Bonanza (Let’s showcase everyone’s favorite wine, cider, or cocktail with a small bite that pairs perfectly!)

May 3rd, Holy Guacamole (We’re celebrating Cinco De Mayo!)
