Midwinter Full Moon Festival Matinee

Midwinter Full Moon Festival Matinee – February 1st at 7 Vines!

There’s a full moon on the way and SimpleGifts is keeping an eye on the sky for great chances to get together. This moon is called the Snow Moon – the traditional full moon of February so why wait for Valentine’s Day to get out and about? Let’s get our road to springtime started early at the premier winery of the north metro!

Come for lunch in the wine bar starting at 12:30pm (separate reservation required) and as the full February Snow Moon rises at 3pm so does the music of the Young and the Rest! Doors to the seating area open at 2pm and wine service continues in the concert hall throughout the show.

You’ll be driving home under the full moon in the east as the sun is setting in the west. It will be a magical evening of acoustic hits from the 70’s including Neil Young’s Old Man, Heart of Gold and we can’t leave out Harvest Moon.

Join us if you can and if you’re away in warmer climates please share this with your friends and family back home here in MN.

Sure hope we see you under the moon-beams!
