Join us on Thursday, May 30th, from 6-9pm to enjoy live music by Robert Jospé Express.

Born in Manhattan, Robert Jospé was inspired by his Belgian parents love of music and began playing the drums at fourteen. He had his first professional performance in France at the age of sixteen. While attending the Cambridge School of Weston in Weston, Massachusetts, Jospé enrolled in the Berklee College of Music summer session and began formal training on drums. Upon graduating from the Cambridge School, Jospé moved to New York City to attend New York University. Over the next twelve years he became an active player in the New York jazz and rock scene as well as co-leader of the fusion band Cosmology. He studied with Tony Williams and Bob Moses and performed with Michael Brecker, Dave Liebman, John Schofield and John Abercrombie.

The Robert Jospé Express came together in 2012 when Butch Taylor, former keyboard player with the Dave Matthews band, returned from the West Coast, and they began playing gigs at Fellini’s in Charlottesville. A few months later bassist, Dane Alderson joined the band. In October 2014 a double CD of the band was released, “Classics” with the trio and “Doin’It Up” included guitarist, Brian Mesko.

We'll continue to fire up the grills and host live music on the patio every Thursday, through August 29th, from 6 to 9 pm.

Bring your own food to grill, or purchase meats from our tasting room farm stand, and enjoy a fun, laid back night at the vineyard. With free admission and live music on the patio, it's the perfect way to start your almost-weekend. Don't forget to pack lawn games and picnic blankets. Children and leashed dogs are welcome!

Meat from Free Union Grass Farm can be purchased and thawed by calling ahead. General thaw times are 20 to 40 minutes. For larger cuts and whole chickens, calling a day in advance is suggested.

Severe inclement weather may cancel the event - check our website to stay on top of updates and weekly lineups. **Please note that due to VA ABC regulations, the only alcohol that can be consumed on the property must be wine purchased from the tasting room during the duration of the event.**
