The event is held on the 4th Saturday in August from 3:30 - 7pm. Guests may arrive starting at 3:00 pm, but the tasting tents will not be opened until 3:30 pm.

The event began in 2008 to renovate and rejuvenate the 100+ year old grape arbor. We are proud to say that full renovations have been completed as o the 2016 event. Beginning in 2017, the focused has moved to the construction of a new motherhouse for the senior Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi. The current building is not equipped to handle the capacity or needs of the Sisters living there. The new convent is necessary. If you drive past the property, you will see the construction in process in the footprint of the former St. Mary's Academy, Cardinal Stritch University, and Marion Center of Non-Profits. For more information on the new building and to see a fly over of what the final building will look like, please visit http://spiritofstfrancis.org/

Parking is available at Saint Thomas More High School and in the back lot at the Seminary. Shuttle buses will be available from both lots.

We do offer a Non-Alcoholic ticket option that can be used for a child or person under the age of 21, if needed. We do encourage you to enjoy this as an adult event, but we also understand some circumstances. Please note, there is not much geared toward children. You may see some of the committee members and volunteer's children at the event helping out in various capacities.
