Crusin' da Vines Metal Muscle Nights
2017-09-28 17:00 - 21:00
Sign Up Now! Metal Muscle Nites Cruisin’ the Vines, a different kind of Car Event. We offer activities and fun for the whole family! Of course it all starts with the cars – and we get a lot of them . All different kinds – classic, oldies, rods, customs and bikes. Our last cruise had about 300 cars and in 2014 we averaged 75-125 any given week. It depends on the weather and what else is going on in the way of other events etc. There’s no admission and no judging. Just bring your cars/bikes and have a lot of fun! We say it starts at 6, but some days cars start pulling in as early as 4 and as the nights get shorter it wraps up sooner too. We get a very nice mix of cars, some are regulars who come every week. There are always new cars to look at as well. The folks who bring out their cars are a real freindly group of people who are always happy to tell you about their ride. Bikes are always welcome as well and we have been seeing a steady growth in numbers of bikes. Top Down DJ’s provides the music, helps park the cars, takes lots of pictures to post on their website, and they give out tons of door prizes! We couldn’t host this cruisin without them. Maize Valley offers free wagon rides around the vineyard, provides great cruiser food packages with a weekly “Cruiser Special”. You can also grab a glass of wine, or a delicious cold craft beer to enjoy. Then of course there is the pumpkin cannon. (We know it’s the only reason some of you come out!) We bring it out later in the season. If you haven’t seen Marlboro Madness perform – well this is your chance, you know she can fire a pumpkin about a half a mile! We are different sort of Crusin’ with things to do for an entire family. A place for folks to display their pride and joy while others can appreciate it. We try and “Walk the Walk” also. We are not just a business who opens its doors to gearheads and trys to make a buck off them. Members of the family have oil in their veins you might say! Bill & Michelle, two of the family members and owners at Maize Valley own a 65′ Impala SS. It has been on the road since 1990. It’s a bit dinged up but they raised three kids in it and it has gone on its fair share of Ice Cream runs and trips to high school dances. Bill just did a frame off recondition (It is a “work Jeep around the farm) which included making up cross members and over all cut, weld, and rebuild. Remember – cruisins start Thursday May 19th and go every Thursday (weather permitting) thru September 29th. All in all it is a cruise like no other, good roads, easy to find, and plenty of clean country air. We hope to see you soon! At Maize Valley We Make Great Wine and Beer…FUN!!

Oktoberfest October 14 & 15
2017-10-15 12:00 - 20:00
Join us for a fun weekend of fall fun on October 14 & 15, 2017 when we feature our Maize Valley Oktoberfest Beer complete with a commemorative Oktoberfest glass. The origins of Oktoberfest date back to the year 1810 in Munich Germany. Today, this festival is the largest in the world with over 6 million guests attending each year. Maize Valley’s Oktoberfest (slightly scaled down from the Munich festival) will not only feature our Oktoberfest beer, but also our Pumpkin Cannon Ale – a fall favorite! Food vendors will be well stocked with German Style Bratwurst and Sauerkraut. All of our fall festivities will be in full swing including wagon rides, pig races, corn maze, pumpkin patch, pumpkin cannon, and so much more. Click here to learn about all that Maize Valley offers in the fall!
The History of Oktoberfest

Crown Prince Ludwig, later to become King Ludwig I, was married to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on 12th October 1810. The citizens of Munich were invited to attend the festivities held on the fields in front of the city gates to celebrate the happy royal event. The fields have been named Theresienwiese (“Theresa’s fields”) in honor of the Crown Princess ever since, although the locals have since abbreviated the name simply to the “Wies’n”.
Horse races in the presence of the Royal Family marked the close of the event that was celebrated as a festival for the whole of Bavaria. The decision to repeat the horse races in the subsequent year gave rise to the tradition of the Oktoberfest.

The Oktoberfest continues in 1811

In 1811 an added feature to the horse races was the first Agricultural Show, designed to boost Bavarian agriculture. The horse races, which were the oldest and – at one time – the most popular event of the festival are no longer held today. But the Agricultural Show is still held every three years during the Oktoberfest on the southern part of the festival grounds.
In the first few decades the choice of amusements was sparse. The first carousel and two swings were set up in 1818. Visitors were able to quench their thirst at small beer stands which grew rapidly in number. In 1896 the beer stands were replaced by the first beer tents and halls set up by enterprising landlords with the backing of the breweries.
The remainder of the festival site was taken up by a fun-fair. The range of carousels etc. on offer was already increasing rapidly in the 1870s as the fairground trade continued to grow and develop in Germany.

184th Oktoberfest 2017

Today, the Oktoberfest is the largest festival in the world, with an international flavor characteristic of the 21th century: some 6 million visitors from all around the world converge on the Oktoberfest each year.
And since the Oktoberfest is still held on the Theresienwiese, the locals still refer to the event simply as the “Wies’n”. So “welcome to the Wies’n” means nothing other than “welcome to the Oktoberfest”!
