You are invited to celebrate the life and adventures in the Red Tail Ridge vineyard of our late, lovely Bueller. A rescue, Bueller was found chained in the middle of a field. Nancy & Mike adopted him and took on the task of bringing out the steady, calm presence and love of a good head scratch and consistent love that Bueller was famous for. He became one of our mascots because he was always up to meet a new person. He kept our woodchucks in check along with his brother, Tucker.
Not only was he famous at the winery, Bueller had a huge Social Media following. As such as beloved friend, he deserves a great sending off. So, come and join us for a toast and a walk about the pollinator field or by the pond to celebrate his life. Chef Samantha Buyskes will be at the winery, providing a lunch of locally-sourced Burgers and Hot Dogs for $25 per person for those who wish to enjoy. The glass to toast Bueller will be complimentary to all ticket holders.
A great way to kick off Father’s Day weekend is our Wine Dinner with Vesper in Rochester.

Join us as we celebrate Dad, and of course the Rose Soiree weekend with this beautifully crafted menu.
Tickets are $125 per person (+tip & tax)
