Mombies Take Over the Vineyard: A Fundraising Event Under the Stars

Saturday, October 11 | 6:30 PM 

Aquila’s Nest Vineyards 


The vineyard comes alive on October 11 with music, community, and a powerful cause! Mombies DJ Night: Raising Spirits & Funds takes place on Saturday, October 11 at 6:30 PM—and it’s sure to be an evening to remember. 


Enjoy an evening of great music as DJ RJ Borruso spins your favorite hits under the autumn sky. Throughout the night, guests will also meet the inspiring Fairfield MOMbies (mombies.org)—a group of local moms who transform into zombies each October to raise awareness and funds for metastatic breast cancer research


Since their founding, the MOMbies have raised nearly $700,000 to support groundbreaking research and improve outcomes for those living with metastatic breast cancer. Their energy, creativity, and passion have made them a beloved part of the community—and now they’re bringing their mission to the vineyard. 


This outdoor fundraiser will be hosted in Aquila’s cozy Fire Pit Circles, where guests can sip wine, warm up by the fire, and soak in the vineyard’s magical fall atmosphere. Keep an eye out for MOMbies wandering the grounds—they’ll be joining in for photo ops, wine tastings, and spooky fun, while sharing their mission and stories of impact. 


All ticket sales will be donated to MOMbies.org, directly supporting metastatic breast cancer research and providing hope to families impacted by the disease. 


Please note: this is a Halloween meet-and-greet, not a MOMbies dance performance.
