Not a place to go if you actually want to enjoy the music. The winery is beautiful - had such great expectations for a relaxing evening. We have waited a long time to see Don Henley and the little bit of his performance we could hear over the loud drunks was amazing. But as the evening went on and people got drunker, they just started talking louder over the music. AND, this wasn't just a couple of people - it was consistent throughout the venue. For the life of me I can't imagine spending that much money to act like you're in a bar. I've attended a number of concerts recently - even some heavy metal large venue concerts - and the people at the winery were far more inconsiderate and obnoxious. The set up added to the poor sound quality. It seemed like the sound system wasn't set up to handle the space and rather than having walk ways around the perimeter there were people constantly standing up and walking through the crowd. Unfortunately, I have tickets to another show this summer - at least now our expectations are level set. That will likely be the last show we see there. Great place to party - lousy venue if you actually go to enjoy the music.
