frequently asked questions
What happens if it rains?
We’ve got you covered – literally! If it rains, we’ll enjoy the shelter of the barn. OUTSIDE SEATING ONLY tickets can be moved to another event in case of rain, but no refunds. All other tickets are rain or shine, so let’s have fun in the barn!
Should I bring chairs?
Feel free to bring a lawn chair or blanket for outdoor events. We do have a limited number of outdoor chairs available for guest use. Inside the barn, we have plenty of seating.
Can I bring food in?
Absolutely, but we encourage snack-type foods to support our amazing food trucks. Think cheese trays, fruits, and meat trays.
Is there an alcohol and beverage policy?
Outside alcohol is not permitted. We invite you to try our great Texas-made wines! Any non-alcoholic drinks are permitted.
Are children allowed at events?
Most LIVE music events are 16+, but we do have family-friendly events too. Our Sip & Shop and daytime wine tastings welcome all ages – just keep kids close.
What are the parking/accessibility policies on the farm?
Plenty of parking available at no extra cost. We’re wheelchair-friendly but remember, it’s a country setting with uneven terrain. See our friendly security when parking for assistance.
Can I buy tickets at the door?
Please purchase tickets in advance as our events often sell out. This way, you won’t miss out!
What time do the gates open?/What time does the band start playing?
Depending on the time of year, the main gates open at 6:15 or 6:30. Please check your tickets. The band will start approximately an hour and fifteen minutes after the gates open. This allows time for parking, checking in, getting your wine or food from the food truck and just enjoying the outdoors. The band will play for about two hours.
Can I pet and/or feed the horses and donkey?
Our animals love pats on the head or back but watch out for nibbles! Feed them some grass with a flat palm, but nothing else, please.
Are there any food/special dietary options?
Find out which food trucks will be there on our Facebook event or on our Eventbrite page. We also send details via email 48 hours before the event – check with your ticket buyer!
Can I bring my dog?
Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome. Keep the barking down during live music and clean up after them. Dog waste station provided!
What type of payment methods are accepted?
We accept credit cards and digital wallets like Apple Pay for your convenience.
What is the dress code/clothing recommendations?
Comfortable, farm-friendly wear is the way to go. Prepare for an outdoor adventure!

What are some local accommodations?
Planning an overnight stay? Check out highly-rated bed and breakfasts in nearby historic downtown McKinney like The Neathery Estate or Bingham House - just a 20 minute drive. For a more outdoorsy experience in Anna check out RV parks like Creek Crossing RV Park or Anna Country RV Ranch - Just minutes away. Airbnb/VRBO options are also available.
What if I plan to ride share?
Planning to indulge in our wines? We recommend scheduling both your arrival and return rides in advance, as it can sometimes be challenging to secure a ride back at the end of the evening. We have had a good experience with DivaRides - Women driving women - The Diva Alternative to Uber and Lyft.
