Sunday Unwind with Pat O'Brien
Program Details & Spotlights
Unwind on your Sunday afternoon with a live performance by fan-favorite acoustic artist Pat O'Brien. Enjoy a relaxed, soulful acoustic set spanning classic favorites and original tunes. It's the perfect occasion to enjoy a refreshing glass of Albariño or a craft beer on the scenic Everleigh deck overlooking the vines.
Sunday afternoons in the Lake Anna area have a distinct, leisurely pace, and there is no better place to experience this than the rolling hills of Mineral. As the weekend begins to wind down, locals and visitors alike look for that perfect transition spot to relax before the workweek beckons. Everleigh Vineyards & Brewing Company offers exactly that—a stunning, elevated deck with sweeping views of manicured vines that capture the golden afternoon light just right.
Enter Pat O'Brien, a beloved staple of the local Virginia music scene. Known for his soulful vocal delivery and masterful acoustic guitar work, Pat has an uncanny ability to read the room and curate the ultimate Sunday afternoon soundtrack. Whether he's weaving through nostalgic classic rock hits, delivering heartfelt folk covers, or sharing his own evocative original songwriting, his performance feels less like a concert and more like a gathering of good friends in a backyard.
What makes this event truly special is the dual-threat beverage menu at Everleigh. Unlike traditional spots where craft beer lovers might feel left out at a winery, Everleigh caters to all palates. You can sip on their crisp, estate-grown Albariño—a perfect pairing for a breezy afternoon—or opt for one of their expertly crafted, small-batch beers brewed right on-site. It's an approachable, family-friendly atmosphere where the stress of the week simply melts away under the shade of the pavilion.
Beyond the music and the drinks, it's the sense of community that makes "Sunday Unwind" a must-do Lake Anna tradition. You'll find boaters fresh off the water, locals catching up on weekly gossip, and travelers discovering the charm of Louisa County for the first time. It is the quintessential lazy Sunday experience that defines the relaxed, welcoming spirit of the Lake Anna region.
