An upcoming concert will feature big band music, local wines and food as the final event in an annual fund-raiser supporting health care in Mesa County.
The Live in the Grapevines concert is set for Aug. 20 at Grande River Vineyards, 787 Grande River Drive in Palisade. Gates will open at 5 p.m. The concert will start at 6.
The concert will feature the Frank Bregar Orchestra and vocalist Krystyn Hartman.
Advance tickets sell for $20 and are available at the Grande River Vineyards tasting room or online through the website at https://marillachealth.org. Admission at the gate will be $25.
VIP Experience tickets sell for $50 and include a tent with separate seating, parking and dedicated restroom access.
Proceeds from the concert will go to MarillacHealth, which provides medical, dental and behavioral health care for uninsured and underinsured patients in Mesa County.
Earlier events in the fund-raiser included the Edesia event celebrating wine, spirits and food as well as a new kids on the wine block dinner pairing local wines and gourmet foods. St. Mary’s Medical Center and Timberline Bank will sponsor the Live in the Grapevines concert.
Dan Vice, manager of Grande River Vineyards, said gates will open early so guests can get food and beverages before the concert begins. “We will be grilling burgers and brats and serving pulled pork and cold sandwiches along with wine, beer, cider, sangria and soft drinks. Grande River and Talon will be pouring our wines.”
Outside food and beverages won’t be allowed. Guests are asked to leave their dogs at home.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to support a great organization that serves so many patients from Palisade and all over the county,” Vice said. “It’s also great to work with our good next-door neighbor Talon to present the event.”
