   In addition to the normal things we do -

   

   which are not necessarily normal- we also host private tours and tastings, weddings, meetings, conclaves, client appreciation functions and other such events. In fact, we have a 20 by 40 foot awning with side flaps, enabling us to hold events rain or shine. We are still looking to host a “retirement from scandal-free career in politics” party. Anyway, if interested in us hosting your event, please contact us.
   

    Concert Series

1. Come on out to the vineyard every Thursday evening from June to September for our live concert music series. All concerts are free and no tickets are required. The series will again fall under the auspice (and insurance policy) of the Champlain Islands Chamber of Commerce, www.champlainislands.com.
   

2. Music Series Sponsors include: Dinse, Knapp & McAndrew www.dinse.com,  Franklin Foods www.franklinfoods.com,  Island Beverage & Redemption,  JFS Electric, Kinney Insurance,  McKee’s Island Pub & Pizza www.mckeespubsvt.com , The Skinny Pancake www.skinnypancake.com and WVMT AM 620 www.newstalk620wvmt.com.

4. From week to week we present a variety of music to satisfy all tastes - from classical to jazz to swing to bluegrass to classic rock. Picnicking begins at 5 p.m. and music starts at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m.

6. As always, we’ve got the wine - and now we also have beer! Alcohol purchased off-site may not be brought on-site. The state considers us no different than other venues, such as stadiums and theaters, except our prices are much more reasonable (besides, we can’t say it enough that buying our products keeps the series going... we depend on the revenue and co-sponsorships in order to present the music series).

8. Once again, Island Beverage will be here with hot dogs, hamburgers and french fries as well as McKee’s Island Pub & Pizza with pizza and salads on concert nights. In addition, The Skinny Pancake at Snow Farm will stay open late and have dinner and desert crepes as well as ice cream. The only downside to the whole shebang is that in case of really foul weather we do have to postpone the performance. Please call the vineyard, check our blog or listen to WVMT 620 AM for last minute announcements.
