In The New Year Spirit: Firefly Distillery and Irvin~House Vineyards Continue Pouring In January

As we say farewell to 2014, Firefly Distillery and Irvin~House Vineyards are proud to announce that for the first time ever, they will remain open the month of January in 2015. Since their inception, the vineyard and distillery closed every January for annual maintenance but due to popular demand, they will continue pouring their local spirits and wines. They will be closed January 1 for the New Year’s Holiday but will reopen Friday, January 2, 2015. 




Regular hours at the vineyard are Tuesday - Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Regular hours at the Firefly Distillery are Tuesday - Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or a blanket to relax on the expansive lawn. Tastings in the Firefly Distillery and Irvin~House Vineyard winery are only $6.00 to taste 6 of 25 flavors of Firefly Spirits and $5.00 to taste 5 wines. Patrons will receive complimentary glasses during both tastings. Pets are allowed but must be leashed, and no coolers please.

 The famous Sippin’ Saturdays will return in February with the annual kick off party, the Third Annual Cork Shuckin’ Festival on Saturday, February 7, 2015. It’s a shuckin’ good time with oysters by the bucket, music by Rawberry Jam, food and more. For more on the Cork Shuckin’ Festival, visit the website. 
Cheers to a New Year!
