Our Events
Sunset Saturday, a lake tradition since 2005
Winery Events
Hickory Hill offers many events throughout the year that are open to the public. Most notable is the Sunset Saturday music series, which runs many Saturday evenings from April to October. In 2021 we introduced Charity Cheers, a concert series supporting local charitable organizations. Other Hickory Hill events include Sweethearts Wine Tasting, Thanksgiving Weekend, and Hickory Hill Holidays. In addition, we have several Wine Club only events including the Wine Pickup Parties and themed wine tastings, usually with a wine education focus.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our events soon!

Sunset Saturday
A Smith Mountain Lake tradtion since 2005
Saturday evenings in the summer vineyard ring with good music, good conversation, and dancing fireflies. Relax, sit back and enjoy the music of local artists as the sun fades and the stars slowly pop out in the sky. Hickory Hill Vineyard’s Sunset Saturday music series is a popular local lake tradition with our 18th season in 2022.
Sunset Saturdays occur on most Saturdays from April to October. We do skip a few Saturdays, so be sure to check our schedule when planning a visit to Hickory Hill and Smith Mountain Lake.
A great way to be “in the know” on our music series and other Hickory Hill Happenings, is to join our email list!
