GSM Concert

The release of our much anticipated GSM is right around the corner. Following a series of GSM mini-events throughout the spring and summer, the culmination of the release of this wine will be an outdoor concert on July 20th!

We are proud to present Mocking Shadows, a lively Canadian band that has been entertaining crowds for over 25 years with their own brand of soul, R&B, reggae, ska, and even a little blues. They have developed an energetic and authentic sound that not only packs the dance floor, but also satisfies the most discerning music fans.

Guests are welcome to start arriving at 6:00pm. This is a 19+ event with limited tickets available and no pets permitted. Outside food and alcoholic beverages not permitted.

Patio Tickets ~ Preassigned Seating $80 per person, plus tax
Enjoy a seat on either the Oak Terrace or Vineyard Patio including a complimentary glass of our 2022 GSM and a bag of truffle popcorn. If you are booking for only two people, you will be seated at a table with another couple. All patio seats will be preassigned. If you are coming with friends, please let us know through the reservation questions so we can ensure you are sitting together or very close by. Table groupings are a maximum of 6 guests.

Vagabond Kitchen – a local foodtruck – will be offering their delicious Asian-fusion menu. Our deli fridge will be stocked with light snacks and non-alcoholic options. Wine will be available by the glass or bottle for guests to enjoy responsibly!

We encourage you to carpool, have a designated driver, or arrange for a drop-off and pick up. Most guests will park on the top of Road 8, just before the entrance to Hester Creek, allowing the majority of our closer parking for guests with health conditions or impairments.
