Purchase fine food and local wine onsite from 2:00pm, before the concert at 6:00 pm in the open-air amphitheatre. Strictly no BYO alcohol. We recommend comfortable clothing and shoes, as well as coats or jackets to keep you warm. Please also consider bottled water and sunscreen as the weather can be warm during the day.
