Rassawek Vineyard

Rassawek's Annual Spring Jubilee and wine festival highlights the kickoff of the summer season. With several local wineries from the Central Virginia and surrounding regions joining together to bring you the best of Virginia wine in one beautiful location. The Spring Jubilee is the perfect time to experience all that Rassawek has to offer. As you travel through the property meeting local artisans and demonstrators, guests will also be able to enjoy the expansive views of rolling hills, Bateau rides on the breezy waterfronts, and exclusive access to two of our unique wedding and event sites.

This family friendly festival will be a unique event for people of all ages with many varieties of exhibits, demonstrations, music, food, drinks, entertainment and more. This festival will be held in a different area than the Spring Jubilee so festival guests will be able to experience two unique festivals at Rassawek. The Autumn Festival is run by our non-profit entity Rassawek Ventures. Our mission at Rassawek Ventures is to preserve traditional skills and crafts to educate and inspire our future. Our goal at Rassawek Ventures is to bring awareness around vocational education and to see the value of working with your hands. We want to show future generations that a career in trades can be a rewarding and fulfilling path to take. A portion of the proceeds from this festival will go towards creating opportunities for individuals wishing to attend a trade or technical school. During the Autumn Festival guests can expect to see many of these trade skills that we wish to preserve come alive through demonstrations and exhibits. There will be onsite blacksmithing, carpentry, masonry, mechanic, lineman, sawmilling, equipment operators and more demonstrating, educating, and promoting their trade with the public. Guests can also expect to see other exhibits such as our newest area, Rassawek Station, which features a small train car village, lodge cabin and general store. Antique cars and tractors will be on display throughout the festival.
There will be plenty of entertainment at the festival including live bluegrass music, a truck and tractor pull managed by Dragon Motorsports, helicopter rides and crane rides. Kids will have an abundance of activities to participate in including a haybale maze, pumpkin patch, interactive painting, farm chores, live farm animals provided by Goochland 4-H, barrel train rides and more!There will be plenty of food and drink available for guests including multiple food trucks and food vendors. We will also have three beer tents, a couple wineries & a cidery for purchase by the glass or the bottle.
