SUMMER 2016
PLENTY OF FUN IN STORE
AT WENTE VINEYARDS
S
ummertime at Wente Vineyards is all about having fun,
and we have plenty of that in store for our guests over
the next few months.
One way we're getting the festivities started is with the un-
veiling of the refurbished Murrieta's Well. A recently com-
pleted renovation has created a new look and feel at the
winery, and you can read all about the upgrades
in this month's edition of the Insider to see
what we're doing to dial up the fun factor.
Another way you can maximize your mer-
riment is with The Concerts at Wente Vine-
yards. We're celebrating 30 years of outdoor
entertainment this summer and you can read
about how it all got started and the lineup for this
summer in the pages that follow. You can also tune into what's
up with The Front Porch Musical Festival, which will return to
Wente Vineyards for the seventh straight year.
And if that's not enough fun to fill a wine barrel, we have
our Livermore Shakespeare Festival on tap this summer and a
host of new releases to fill up your glass here or at home. Of
course there's always wine tastings, golf and fabulous dining
to make every moment pleasureable at Wente Vineyards.
We hope to see you this summer for a whole lot of fun!
