Evening Schedule 

6:00 PM – We'll commence the evening with a social hour as One More Time serenades us upon arrival. Enjoy the grazing board alongside our reception wine. For those preferring something different, we offer a full bar with beer, cocktails, and non-alcoholic selections. 

7:00 PM – We'll offer a warm welcome and introduce you to our winery and the unique cold-climate wines we craft. Chef Aaron will share insights about Doolittle Farm and tonight's menu. Following that, our winemaker Lane will tell his story and unveil our future plans for the winery. 

8:30 PM – As dinner concludes, immerse yourself in entertainment. The band “One More Time” will take center stage, and their dancers will perform for us. Should the mood move you, we invite you to join in on the dance floor.

We aim to create an evening that's not just about exquisite wine and food, but also about shared experiences and lasting memories.

Winter Winery Music Series | Chris Falcon

After fronting the indie rock band, Dropping Sully for years in Baltimore, Chris Falcon relocated to Des Moines and began the process of honing his solo performance chops out of necessity. Now with a decade as a solo act under his belt, Chris has emerged on the Iowa scene proclaiming the gospel of Electric Space Folk. Blending bluegrass and folk structures, impassioned smoky vocals, spaced-out sonic textures, and feet planted firmly on the ground, he brings his unique perspective to the listener wrapped in steel strings and good vibrations.

Chris can be found playing many solo shows in the Des Moines area and also select dates with various musical co-conspirators in duo, trio and quartet formats as Chris Falcon & The Spacetime Continuum.

Chris is currently compiling material for a new album and has begun preproduction for a Summer 2025 release.

All ages show. You may bring your own snacks, ALL alcoholic drinks must be purchased from our tasting room. We have wine, local craft beer, mixed drinks, pop and water. Doors open at 5:00 PM. $5 Cover at the door.
