There’s something magical about summertime in Livermore Valley — the warm sunsets, the scent of vineyards in bloom, and those long, golden evenings made for great wine and good company. If you’re looking to make the most of this season, Wente Vineyards has just unveiled its 2025 summer event lineup, and trust us, you’ll want these dates on your calendar.
From elegant parties to tribute concerts, movie nights, and even a day dedicated to our favorite four-legged friends, Wente is delivering serious summer vibes this year. Here’s what’s coming up:
Summer Music Series: Live Tunes, Starry Skies & Vineyard Views
Starting May 29 and running through September 14, Wente’s lawn turns into a laid-back concert venue with their Summer Music Series. This year’s lineup is packed with tribute bands paying homage to icons like George Michael, ABBA, Santana, Prince, Tom Petty, Bruno Mars, and the Eagles.
Gates open at 6:00 p.m., with shows starting at 8:00 p.m. Bring a blanket, sip some wine, and enjoy the music as the sun sets. General admission tickets are $55, while VIP tables with gourmet dining and bar access go for $1,200 for 8 guests and $1,500 for 10.
Summer Movie Nights: Cinema Under the Stars
Nothing says summer like a movie night on the lawn, and Wente’s Summer Movie Nights are always a crowd-pleaser. Starting July 10, bring your blankets and low-back chairs and catch these fan-favorite films under the stars:
- Mamma Mia – July 10
- Jurassic Park – July 17
- Wicked – July 24
Admission is free, and gates open at 5:30 p.m. A live DJ keeps the energy up from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., with a full bar and classic concessions available for purchase. It’s the ultimate casual night out for families, friends, and date nights alike.
Dog Day Afternoon: Because Pups Deserve a Vineyard Day Too
On July 20, it’s time to bring your furry best friend along for the fun at Dog Day Afternoon. From 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., enjoy wine by the bottle, tasty food, and treats for pups while lounging on Wente’s beautiful grounds.
The Valley Humane Society will be on-site with adoptable dogs and they’re welcoming donations of new, unused pet supplies. Heads up: kids must be supervised and all dogs need to stay leashed, but it’s sure to be a tail-wagging good time.
