Danenberger Family Vineyards (DFV) is an award-winning winery and live music venue located in Central Illinois. Quickly becoming a premier destination in the region, DFV offers a full sensory experience that includes a tasting room, comfortable lounges, two distinct music venues, an on-site catered restaurant, and the AfterDark Bourbon Bar—all just outside Springfield, Illinois. Our flagship wine
is Cabernet Franc. DFV is committed to bringing talented local and national musicians to our stages. Our indoor venue, WineRocks, is a state-of-the-art, two-story space built from double-stacked shipping containers. Designed for intimacy and energy, WineRocks offers unobstructed views and puts you close to your favorite performers, fostering a powerful connection between artist and audience. In the summer months, the music moves outdoors to our Field of Dreams—a 5-acre open-air concert space where guests can enjoy live performances under the stars. It's the perfect blend of vineyard ambiance and festival energy. You do not need a reservation to come visit or taste. Live music is on Friday nights, 7-11p; Saturday 7-11p (depending on the band), Sunday 2p. Music events are listed in the events tab of our page. The After Dark Cocktail Bar is open for evening hours on Friday and Saturday nights, 6-10p. We have several indoor areas, including the WineRocks music venue, Sullivan's Lounge, our AfterDark Cocktail Bar, the Mezzanine of WineRocks; and our tasting room. We offer wine, beer, mixers, cocktails, mocktails, NA options, soda and water. We also have 3 outdoor patios and an acre of lawn space. You can bring lawn chairs, but not coolers, alcohol or food.
