When I think of a music festival, I imagine an open, dry, dusty area with too many people all eager to be sunburned. I picture a somewhat apathetic crowd wandering from one vendor booth to another, not completely into the music being played by a live band that probably sounds better on a CD than in person. But when I heard about the first music festival happening at Gundlach Bundschu Winery, a different picture came to mind.
Gundlach Bundschu Winery has been creating award-winning, superbly balanced wines for 152 years from its scenic property in Sonoma. If practice makes perfect, it’s no wonder that after six generations of a lot of hard work and a commitment to producing the highest quality wines possible, Gundlach Bundschu has earned a loyal following that stretches far beyond Sonoma Valley. If Gundlach Bundschu is hosting a music festival, it’s sure to be one featuring high quality bands at this lush, picturesque, Certified Green Sonoma Valley winery.
In recent years, Gundlach Bundschu has presented events featuring independent music on their outdoor amphitheater located on their beautiful Rhinefarm. For the first time, on Saturday, June 5, 2010 Gundlach Bundschu presents the Huichica Music Festival – an all day event highlighting six bands in the independent music scene. These critically acclaimed bands will capture your attention with their unique sounds and musical talent. The headlining bands are Citay, Fruit Bats, and Vertiver.
Food and wine will be available for purchase during the festival. The price for admission includes a complimentary wine tasting of spectacular Gundlach Bundschu wines.
