Tucked away in 3000 acres of prime vineyard country, Wente Vineyards is in its 126^th year.  What’s so special?

• Huey Lewis and The News – Tuesday, August 10
• Chris Isaak – Thursday, August 19

The World-Class Restaurant – Executive Chef Eric Berg and Master Gardener Diane Dovholuk bring succulent lunch and dinner dishes featuring produce and herbs organically grown there in the vineyards!  Unique wine pairings are presented with each meal to compliment your particular dishes.

An award-winning four-course dinner can be combined with stage-front seating for the evening’s performance.

Other dining and seating arrangements include Premium Dining, Outdoor Dining, and Mezzanine Dining.

Championship Golfing – Cast along rolling hills and scenic valley views lies 18 holes of a championship course designed by Greg Norman.
