Anybody with a decent sense of smell and a couple of rolled down car windows driving through the countryside of Michigan’s Great Southwest can recognize instantly that Harvest Season is at hand across the region, and if you thought that the end of summer meant the end of outdoor fun the crew at Round Barn Winery, Distillery & Brewery strongly encourages you to think again.
The Round Barn team reminds you to be sure and schedule in a whole host of opportunities to enjoy refreshments, delicious fare and live music to round out your perfect Fall color tour.
Round Barn Winery, Distillery & Brewery and the Round Barn Public House are both celebrating the season throughout the month of October. Join Round Barn for their weekly Jammin’ in the Vineyard events through the end of the month for great music while the weather is still gorgeous.
Down the road, Public House is hosting a fall beer dinner early in October pairing delicious fall dishes with harvest inspired brews. Finally, don’t miss Hallowine Halloween weekend for a Spooktacular time!

As October marches on, so does Round Barn’s tradition of Jammin’ in the Vineyard every Saturday & Sunday, but times vary. The Jammin’ in the Vineyard concert series runs throughout the month of October, affording guests the chance to hang out in the vineyard and jam during one of the biggest concert series in the area.
Round Barn is finishing up 24 weekends of fantastic live entertainment every Saturday and Sunday afternoon until the end of the month. Enjoy wines, spirits and craft-brews while musicians from around the Midwest rock out in the open-air stage adjacent to the Beer Garden.
