🤠🐎FAQ:Rodeo at Wind Vineyards🐎🤠🔥
‼️READ FOR BEST EXPERIENCE‼️
It is SHOW DAY with our friends at BLM Bull and Rodeo Company! Thank you to Amish Barns of Virginia/Four Winds Construction for sponsoring this event! Here are some answers to FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Are tickets available at the gate?
🔥ABSOLUTELY! Tickets are cash ONLY at the gate, FYI. You may still buy them online if you would like to use a credit card, but you can save the processing fees with cash at the gate! All discounts have expired.
When & where?
🔥Today, May 30, at 15772 Moneta Road. We will open the gates at 4pm. Mini bulls and will begin around 6pm and usually last 30-45 minutes. The professional riders will be up around 7! The fun will go until 9-930ish. Please do not try to enter before 4pm to allow us to set up!
We can I NOT bring?
🔥For all our big event, we do not allow outside food, drinks, cups, or coolers.
Can I bring my pet?
🔥No—There are no pets allowed at our big events for the safety and enjoyment of everyone.
How do I sign my child up for mutton busting?
🔥Kids must be 60 pounds or less and you can register onsite—first come, first serve. Find the sheep and go sign up when you arrive. Do this early because it will almost certainly fill quickly!
What are seating options?
🔥In short, you can bring a chair, rent a chair, or sit in the bleachers! Our bleachers will seat upwards of 1000 people but many folks will elect to bring chairs to sit around the ring or relax on our grassy hillside which allows “stadium seating.” VIP ticket holders have a chair provided ringside.
Can I bring a canopy/tent/umbrella?
🔥Yes, BUT they must be set up in the rear behind other guests. Tents, umbrellas, and canopies must not hinder the view of other attendees. There will be limited spots to set up that also maintain good visibility since we have a plethora of VIP tents that sit on the crest of the hill!
How is the weather looking?
🔥GREAT! The rain this week was perfect to keep dust down! 🙌
Is this like the other rodeos I see advertised various places around the state?
🔥NO!!! Unlike many other events, this rodeo is a true, SEBRA Bull Riding and Barrel Racing sanctioned event with high level professional riders from across the country and around the WORLD! We invest a lot of money into providing the BEST rodeo available! This is not amateur folks putting on a show riding a cow. This is the “Major Leagues” of rodeo with more riders than you can find at most any other event in Virginia.
What events are offered?
🔥We have mini bulls, mutton busting, barrel racing, and pro bull riding. We focus on the heart & soul of a rodeo—pro bull riding—as opposed to having a sampling if many different events.
What is the cost to ride Grape Crusher Monster Ride Truck?
🔥Grape Crusher is always one of our most popular attractions at all events! Rides are $15 cash or $17 with card. Purchase your tickets at the Wind Vineyards merchandise and wine tents OR at the gate when you enter the event!
Do I need to bring cash?
🔥If possible, YES! We do accept cards and believe most all third party vendors so as well. However, if lines start to form we will have a “cash only” line that will provide faster service and get you back to the show quickly! Cash transactions are markedly faster than credit cards so keep lines moving.
“Why aren’t you answering the phone?”
🔥We do our absolute very best to answer every phone call and even return all missed calls we have. However, especially within 24 hours of our big events the number of calls, emails, texts, messages, etc we get is astronomical! We did a LIVE VIDEO on Facebook yesterday explaining details and showing our set up and will likely do it again today! Putting questions in the comments of that video or our FAQ post is likely your easiest way to get answers. We do ask that you read our posts & watch the videos to set proper expectations and answer questions to allow for the best experience!
Anything else i should know?
🔥We are a FARM WINERY and this is an AGRITOURISM EVENT. There are inherent dangers on a farm that could result in injury or death. Under Virginia law, there is no liability for the owners, promoters, or participants as a result of your coming to our farm to participate in this agritourism event. YOU ACCEPT ALL RISK by buying a ticket and attending! Signs displaying the Virginia law regarding this are properly displayed on the large tree directly facing you as you enter the driveway as well as at the ticket gate and other places throughout the farm.
We sincerely appreciate your support and will see you later today! LET’S HAVE SOME FUN!!!
🤠 THE RODEO IS ON!!! 🤠
