Oktoberfest Celebration at Bryn Mawr Vineyards

Bryn Mawr Vineyards may carry a Welsh name, but behind it lies the Lauer family’s deep German roots. On Sunday, September 21st, the family is bringing that heritage to life with their very first Oktoberfest Celebration – an afternoon of wine, food, and festive tunes.

Oktoberfest wouldn’t be complete without a proper Bavarian flair. The Lauer family will be fully decked out in lederhosen and dirndls, ready to raise a glass with guests. For Kathy Lauer, the celebration is especially meaningful. Raised in the small town of Frankenmuth, Michigan, widely known as “Michigan’s Little Bavaria”, a town famous for its Bavarian-style architecture, lively festivals, and the world’s largest Christmas store, Bryn Mawr’s Oktoberfest is a homage to her upbringing and their family heritage.

Guests can expect a festive spread straight from the vineyard kitchen, prepared by Culinary Director Jonathan Jones, paired with a specialty wine flight crafted just for the occasion. For those who’d like to linger, wines will also be available by the glass and bottle.

12 - 5 p.m. | Purchase tickets Tock.

About Bryn Mawr Vineyards

Founded in 2010 by Jon and Kathy Lauer, Bryn Mawr Vineyards is a family-owned and family-run estate in the Eola-Amity Hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The winery crafts aromatic, structured wines of complexity and character, shaped by a precipitous volcanic landscape and guided by organic and regenerative farming practices. Since its founding, Winemaker and Vineyard Director Rachel Rose has led both vineyard and cellar with a playful yet precise, low-intervention approach, producing expressive, site-driven wines that reflect both place and personality. Bryn Mawr Vineyards is known for its alternative varietals such as Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Dolcetto.
