Blessing of the Vineyard

13th Annual All Saints Orthodox Church Vineyard Blessing & Wine Festival       

The thirteenth annual All Saints Orthodox Church Vineyard Blessing and Wine Festival will take place at the Vineyards & Winery on Saturday, August 25 at 5:00 pm. Tickets will be available at the Winery around August 1.

This is an event to promote the church and is their most important fundraiser. The blessing is a tradition practiced by the Orthodox Church since biblical times. A brief but solemn ceremony includes a procession and blessing of the vineyard by Archimandrite Father Daniel Griffith.

The Blessing feast traditionally occurs at the time the Church honors the Virgin Mary’s repose. The feast features an authentic Greek meal prepared and served by members of the parish of the All Saints Church.

The Blessing will begin the celebration promptly at 5 pm. Dinner begins at 6 pm, and reservations are limited.  Adults are $15, and children 12 and under, $8. See the menu here.

The evening will feature Greek music, and Mediterranean folk dancing by the St. George Orthodox Church Youth Group.

The Winery's tasting bar will be fully staffed for wine tasting and purchases of wine by the glass or by the bottle.  There are no other winery activities scheduled.

Dinner reservations may be made by phoning the church at 785-823-3735, the Winery at 785-825-2515, ext 14.
