The venue was unbelievably intimate and very soothing located almost in the trees. The wine event prior to the concert was very well run with a great selection of wines. The crowd was very diverse and the people running both the wine event and the concert were extremely welcoming. The concert was a fantastic mix of strings with a pop culture twist. I can't wait for the next one!!!

The wine tasting was fun, but I didn't enjoy many of the wines. The concert was really nice though, and the setting was beautiful

Great selection of wines. Would have wanted just a few more heavier snacks to accompany the wine tasting but otherwise it was a great event. Also, the music afterwards was enjoyable as well. I would definitely recommend this to everyone...great summertime event!
In addition, if you haven't been to the Ford Amphitheater, it is a great location, very convenient and easy, affordable parking.

A great pairing! Music and wine. I would highly recommend attending any of the "Learn About Wine" events. Always very classy and fun events. I would also recommend the Ford Theater. A beautiful venue with great sound and helpful staff.

Place was beautiful....Although I would make (2) suggestions....where bug spray.......I got eaten alive at the concert....and make a note the food availability at the event is hot dog hamburgers and pizza...so people can bring a picnic or eat before.
Otherwise the Tasting was good...could have been laid out better....and concert was great

The wine tasting and the concert was wonderful. I wish I had known that I could have taken my own food and drinks into the venue, because we bought food from the cafe and it was not good at all. In fact, my husband and I both felt rather sick to our stomachs afterwards. Next time please let people know they can bring their own picnic.
