Live in the Vineyard Concert Series
We are happy to announce that our popular “Live in the Vineyard Concert Series” will be returning once again this season at River Bend Vineyard & Winery. We sincerely hope that you enjoy this live entertainment while sitting out on our patio or lawn as you enjoy a glass of wine, just feet away from the vineyard.
Our Concert Series is, weather permitting, an outdoor event, so bring your lawn chairs and blankets as seating is limited. If Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate, the music will still happen, just inside where it is dry and warm. We look forward to seeing you in the rbv Tasting Room!
