“We can’t wait to kick-off another year of live music here at Wente Vineyards,” said Aly Wente, fifth generation winegrower and VP of marketing and customer experiences. “Our summer concert series is beloved throughout the community, and our lineup of top acts such as Queen Nation, The Sun Kings, Crawdad Republic Plus Wolf Hamlin and The Front Porch Drifters, offers a little something for everyone.”
From June through August, Wente will host several tribute bands performing on the concert lawn with wine, beer and cocktails available for purchase as well as food trucks offering diverse cuisine on site. For all concerts, doors will open at 5 p.m. and the music will begin at 8 p.m.
