Borealis In the Vines is an outdoor immersive light and sound installation at Centennial Vineyards using theatrical hazers and laser beams, to create an effect that replicates the natural phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis. A gentle soundtrack is played alongside the visual effect to create a peaceful and magical experience.

Borealis is a continuous performance, which means you can stay for as long as you like once you arrive at your session time.

The session times indicated on your ticket are entry times. It is important to arrive at your designated session time to manage the flow of visitors and ensure a good experience for everyone.
