Tressa Gaye and Friends, live on the vineyard patio.
Three hours of classic rock and country on the patio, Pancho Villa BBQ at the window, and a glass of harvest red with the vineyard turning gold behind you.
Two hours before the band, if you want a table before the good ones go.
No opener and no breaks to plan around. Pancho Villa BBQ is serving from the patio by now too.
Three hours, one set, and the vineyard going gold behind it.
Half an hour after the music stops. Take a bottle of whatever you had in your glass.
Tressa Gaye and Friends close out the 2026 patio series the way harvest season deserves: a classic rock and country mix played outdoors, with the vineyard turning gold behind the stage. It is the third and last outdoor show of the year, and the only one that lands in harvest.
Everything you need for the afternoon is on the property, and none of it needs booking ahead.
Serving from the patio for the whole show. Barbecue is the plan, lunch is sorted, and you never have to leave your seat for longer than it takes to order.
The 2023 Barbera, Zinfandel and Cab Franc for the season, the 2024 Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay if the afternoon stays warm, and frozen wine slushies all three hours. Cases 10% off; club members save 20%.
The boutique right next door, full of unique gifts and worth the thirty-second walk between sets. Open the same afternoon.
No tickets, no list, no cover. Bring a friend, bring the dog on a leash, bring a blanket if you want a corner of the lawn. We have the glasses, the ice, the music and the view.
No. Rockin’ the Vines is free to attend and there is nothing to reserve. Walk up any time between 1 and 4 p.m. Food and wine are the only things you pay for.

There is patio seating, and you are welcome to bring a blanket or a camp chair if you would rather claim a spot on the lawn.
