The Rev Theater Presents Almost Heaven by John Denver at the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse

Time may vary for shows 2:00pm and/or 7:30pm.

John Denver emerged onto the ‘60s folk scene, climbed to ’70s
superstardom and enjoyed a blazing career throughout the ‘80s
and ‘90s. This nostalgic musical tribute features Denver’s greatest
hits such as “Country Roads,” “Rocky Mountain High,” “Annie’s Song,”
“Leavin’ On A Jet Plane” and many more. Denver was a humanitarian,
activist and even poet laureate. Almost Heaven will most definitely put
some sunshine on your shoulders.

Portrait of Hanna PK
LIVE MUSIC by Hanna PK

Hanna PK is a solid pianist, soulful vocalist, and vibrant performer, born and raised in South Korea, currently residing in Rochester, NY.  She plays a wide variety of the blues & swing, old school folk, and boogie-woogie.  She has a dynamic songwriting style - ranging from a funky tune with socially conscious lyrics to a mournful slow blues, from a pop-edged ballad to an uplifting swinging number, and from barrelhouse boogie to jazz.  Her seemingly sweet and soft-spoken appearance often leads to surprise when hearing her rich, resonating voice that goes from a whisper to belting with intensity.  Her piano style is much more lyrical and imaginative than simply repeating so-called “licks”, though she knows when to toss them in the mix for a thrill, and is always in the groove.  And what draws the audience closer to her heartfelt, honest music are her genuine passion, and the originality that comes from within.

In addition to tasty Hunt Country wines, Climbing Bines beer, an extensive offering of local picnic nibbles, and beautiful vineyard scenery, we offer LIVE MUSIC. 

When weather permits, performances will take place on our covered porch where music can be enjoyed from our tasting room, porch seating, and lawn seating.  Or, feel free to bring a picnic blanket or folding chairs for set up on the lawn.  In inclement weather, the show will go on in our Tasting Room.  

Reservations for tastings are highly recommended, but not required.  Make your reservations HERE. 
Wines can also be purchased in our tasting room by the glass or by the bottle as well.  

Picnic items include local cheeses, salamis, ferments, olives, nuts, popcorn, pretzels, chips, crackers, salsa, specialty mustards, Hedonist chocolates, grape candy, etc...  We also offer local canned beer, kombucha, bottled soda, iced teas, and sparkling water.  

COVID-19:
We greatly appreciate your continued patience and understanding as we figure out the best ways to keep you and our staff safe, and prevent another surge of COVID-19 infections.

Visiting the winery means you are aware of the current COVID-19 pandemic and understand the risks associated with visiting public places and won’t hold Hunt Country liable in the event you become infected with the virus. You also understand and will follow the best practices laid out by the CDC and NYSDOH, as well as the practice and directions provided by Hunt Country. Please postpone your visit to the winery if you are or have been exposed to persons who are ill, showing symptoms, or have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last two weeks.

Masks: Per guidance from the CDC and NYSDOH, people who are fully-vaccinated no longer need to wear masks. However, people who are not yet fully-vaccinated should continue to wear masks indoors to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. We encourage any person who prefers to wear a mask to do so.
