Red, White, and Blues at Vino in the Valley

/in , /by

Great wine, delicious food, and awesome music… Commemorate the Independence Day holiday by joining us for Red, White and Blues on Saturday, July 1, starting at noon featuring the music of Empire Night and the Tommy Bentz Band with our famous fireworks show at dusk.

Grab family and friends for a fun afternoon and evening in the valley. Take a tractor tour around the vineyard, enjoy a glass of wine or a beer on the patio, listen to blues music over a pasta dinner… Then grab your lawn chairs or blanket and settle in for the fireworks show after dusk!

It’s a patriotic evening in the valley you won’t want to miss!  New this year! Join us for our Fireworks BBQ! To accommodate our later arriving fireworks guests we’ll be serving BBQ chicken and all the fixin’s (1/4 chicken, garlic mash potatoes, baked beans, pasta salad. $15 (cash only)) plus a selection of beer and wine out on the grounds starting at 7pm!

The last seating of the night will be at 9pm (our staff want to take in the fireworks, too!). There’s no admission charge. Sorry, no carry-on allowed on the grounds.

Check out this entertainment line-up!

3:00pm – 6:00pm Empire Night

A Duo with a Twist! Featuring both guitar and keyboards with smooth vocals and great harmony, Empire Night plays a smart, hip selection of music from contemporary pop and folk, great 90’s songs, and select 60’s and 70’s piano songs you haven’t heard in a while (think Captain and Tennelle, Burt Bacharach, and Sergio Mendes).

6:00pm – 9:00pm Tommy Bentz Band

The Tommy Bentz Band is a trio that often gets described as Van Morrison meets the Allman Brothers. Led by singer-songwriter Tommy Bentz, one hears strong soulful vocals with tasty slide and lead guitar, a rock-solid rhythm section with tight vocal harmonies that often makes the listener think that as many as 5-6 people are on stage. The band tours around the Midwest and yearly to the UK, for their annual fall tour, playing 2 blues-rock festivals in Ireland and Scotland this September. Enjoy blues and blues rock classics from artists like Clapton, Allman Brothers, SRV, The Band, Freddie King, as well as songs from their 4 original albums.
