Live Music- The Patrick Lamb Quartet

Patrick is one of those extraordinary performers who combine raw talent and energy.  He uses the influences of Funk, Soul, R&B, and a flavor of Jazz to create his own unique sound as a performer and a songwriter.  The Quartet can be found playing at the lunch site above Triple Black Slopes Vineyard.

Seminars

All seminars are optional but we encourage you to take this opportunity to learn about the vineyard and the wines.
This year we are offering 4 great seminar options, each 30 minutes long:
Establishing The Vineyards, Identifying Aromas in the Sensory Garden, and a Blind Vintage Tasting.
Each seminar will be offered 3 times per day, and you get to choose which seminars you would like to attend and when.  Each session will begin and end at a set time to ensure you have plenty of time for lunch, for enjoying our food & wine pairings by Chef Pascal Chureau, and attending other seminars.
