2026 Red White & Brew Festival
Program Details & Spotlights
Southern Revere Cellars is hosting its spectacular 4th Annual Independence Day celebration to kick off the holiday weekend! This family-friendly festival features a fun-filled day of craft beer and farm-grown wines, delicious eats from popular local food trucks (including From the Farm BBQ and River City Wood Fire Pizza), and an outdoor concert by Superglide RVA from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The event culminates with a breathtaking professional fireworks show starting at dark over the rolling countryside farm pastures.
There is no better way to kick off your Independence Day holiday weekend in the Lake Anna area than soaking up the rustic charm of Southern Revere Cellars. Tucked away in the historic rolling hills of Louisa County along Jack Jouett Road, this beloved farm winery and brewery serves as the perfect backdrop for the 4th Annual Red White & Brew Festival. As locals know, while the lake offers plenty of daytime water thrills, the surrounding countryside is where the community comes together to celebrate our nation's heritage with true Virginia hospitality.
This year’s festival promises an incredible sensory experience, pairing Southern Revere's signature farm-grown estate wines and cold, crisp craft beers with some of the region's most sought-after food trucks. You can sink your teeth into the rich, smoky goodness of From the Farm BBQ or grab a bubbly, fresh-out-of-the-oven slice from River City Wood Fire Pizza. It’s an absolute feast for the senses, designed to be enjoyed family-style on the expansive, breezy lawns.
As the afternoon heat mellows into a warm summer evening, the energy shifts to the outdoor stage. From 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, local favorite Superglide RVA will take the stage, delivering a high-energy live performance loaded with crowd-pleasing rock and roll classics. It is the ultimate soundtrack for dancing on the grass, playing lawn games with the kids, or simply relaxing with a cold pour in hand as the golden hour light washes over the pastures.
The grand finale of the evening is nothing short of magical. Once the twilight darkens into night, a spectacular, professional-grade fireworks display will light up the sky directly over the rolling pastures. Far from the crowded city streets, watching the brilliant bursts of red, white, and blue reflect over the quiet, open Virginia countryside is a breathtaking tradition you won't want to miss.

- Check the Pet Policy: Southern Revere is typically very dog-friendly, but with large crowds and loud fireworks, it is best to leave anxious furry friends safely at home for this specific event.
