What we’re about
Hello fellow wine lovers!
I have been managing the group for almost four years now and what fun it has been!
We do all sorts of different events so please do read the details on each event thoroughly.
Most of our events will either require a pre-payment as I will be purchasing tickets or paying venues directly.
Our casual small dinner reservation events will also require a pre-payment to hold your spot which will be refunded to attending members. This is an attempt to eliminate no-shows and have full capacity at our events. Some higher end venues will charge $50 to hold spots so I will increase the amount in those instances.
NOTE: In order to attend events held in private homes (cheese, chef du jour and the like)members must have attended three previous public venue events.
There is an annual fee of $15 to cover the $400 annual fees I incur from Meetup. After covering the Meetup Fees I promise I will spend every dime on items to raffle at events!

👉 Let us know if you're a member and send the correct amount. - Note that Fogartyville is a small venue. We were able to secure 10 seats inside together. While indoor seats are still available, I’ll continue to grab them as we get paid RSVPs.
- I suspect they’ll open patio seating the day before the event — it’s lovely out there in November! 🌤️ The patio is comfortable, with fans to keep a breeze flowing.
🎟️ The cost is the same no matter where you are seated. You’ll have a great view from any seat.
🎤 About Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra
Fogartyville presents Norway-based Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra, which serves up thick vocal harmonies and catchy melodies in their driving, up-tempo tunes and lyrical ballads.With original songs steeped in the folk music traditions of the Appalachian Mountains, beams of Celtic and Norwegian fiddle tunes pierce through the sound of the acoustic ensemble.
--"Alison Krauss meets Fleet Foxes on a Norwegian mountain pass."
Norway-based Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra began after the soon-to-be lead vocalists first heard the music of the Belgian movie “Broken Circle Breakdown” one night in a theater in Oslo, Norway. Inspired by the soundtrack, they got a group of friends together to play the music from the film. After a couple of weeks of practice, the newly-formed Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra recorded “Wayfaring Stranger” in the fiddle player’s living room. 18,000,000 channel-plays and 50,000 subscribers later, the band has enjoyed a large amount of attention from an international audience, most recently nominated “Band of the Year” and winners of “Vocalist of the Year” at IBMA Momentum Awards.
“Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra is the impossible dream of what Norwegian musicians can achieve without the home-field advantage”, Puls Music Magazine on Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra’s debut album.
