Pours & Encores at Magnetic Hill Winery brings a Friday-night energy to Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Every second Friday the winery hosts three hours of live music, turning the tasting room into a casual concert venue where local musicians play a mix of originals and covers while visitors sample regional wines. Entrance is free, and guests can enjoy the winery’s standard tasting-room offerings throughout the evening, making it an easy add-on whether you arrive after exploring the Magnetic Hill area or as the main event of the night. Magnetic Hill Winery sits on the edge of one of the province’s most unusual attractions: Magnetic Hill, the “gravity hill” where cars seem to roll uphill. That curious landscape creates a sense of place you won’t find at other winery concerts—audiences arrive expecting something a little different, and the atmosphere reflects that blend of rural vineyard charm and roadside oddity. Key features of the scene include the tasting room, outdoor performance area, rows of vines that mark the agricultural backdrop, and attentive staff who pour flights and guide tastings during set breaks. The event’s format is simple and visitor-friendly: three hours of live music every second Friday, free admission, and access to tasting-room menus. The setting works well for date nights, small groups, and travelers looking for a low-key cultural slice of Moncton’s nightlife. Note the venue enforces a minimum age of 19, so bring photo ID. The casual crowd and wine-centric programming make it easy to move between sampling local bottles and leaning into the music. For visitors, this night is a useful waypoint in a wider Magnetic Hill itinerary. Pair the evening with a daytime visit to nearby Magnetic Hill viewpoint or the Magnetic Hill Zoo, then return for sunset light over vineyard rows. The event highlights local musicians and local wine production, which together showcase a side of New Brunswick that’s simultaneously artisanal and approachable.
