Sunset Sip in the Corn Maze
2023-10-28 16:00 - 19:00
Sunset Sip in the Corn Maze is BACK!! And it is a very special, Full Hunter’s Moon Edition. Join us on Saturday, October 28, from 4 – 7 pm!
Find the various tasting stations scattered throughout the farm and corn maze, sample your choice of either wine or beer at each station, enjoy a seasonal food buffet, but most of all. . . support a great cause.
This year’s Sunset Sip is special, not only because it falls on a full moon, but also because Maize Valley is donating 100% of the ticket sales to one of our employees who is currently battling the return of her cancer. Melissa is a single mother of 3 children who attend the Marlington Local Schools. She is a newer staff member at Maize Valley and is well liked for her sunny and cheerful disposition and willingness to work hard and help her fellow employees. With mounting medical bills, and a family to care for, Melissa is in need of our help.
Advance tickets are $40 and include entrance to the fall harvest activities, your choice of wine or beer samples at 5 different stations and a seasonal food buffet. You are welcome to spend the day enjoying all of the fall harvest activities (these open at 12 noon), onsite check in for the Sunset Sip event will open at 3 pm and tasting will be available at the five stations from 4 – 6 pm. The food buffet will be available from 5:30 – 6:30 – additional wine/beer/soda will be available for purchase. The event ends at 7 pm.
We will also be offering a variety of raffle and silent auction items – with all the proceeds going to Melissa.
As many of you know, cancer is no stranger to the Maize Valley Family. Two of our family members have fought their own battle with this horrible disease. We have held numerous breast cancer fundraisers in the past benefitting the Susan G Komen Foundation – the support you have shown us for these events has always been overwhelming and we hope you will join us once again in supporting a great cause!

Oktoberfest – what better way to celebrate fall than with a pint of Oktoberfest Lager and a bratwurst with kraut. Come on out and enjoy fall on the farm with your family and friends.
Join us for a fun weekend of fall fun where we feature our Maize Valley Oktoberfest Beer. This delightful Marzen Beer is a beautiful, deep golden color, with a rich maltiness that makes you think of all things fall.
Commemorative Oktoberfest Beer Mugs will be available.. The Oktoberfest Mug will be available both inside the main market building (no ticket necessary) as well as at the beer truck which is inside our fall activities area.
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! Please note that if you wish to attend the fall activities, there is an admissions charge to this area of $17 per person.
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.
