Experience craft beer and wine tasting from a huge selection of vendors, colorful art installations and live music performed by five crowd-pleasing bands.
The 6th Annual Rhythm, Wine & Brews Experience returns to Empire Polo Club’s fields on Saturday, March 4th, 2017. Presented by Empire Music Ventures, the 2017 line-up includes Snoop Dogg, Pepper, The Expendables, Andy Frasco and Spankshaft along with more than 100 breweries, wineries and food trucks.
Craft breweries and wineries will serve tastes of regional beer and wine from 3:00 PM– 7:00 PM as guests enjoy performances by American blues artist Andy Frasco and ska-punk band Spankshaft on the Tasting Stage.
Colorful and inventive art installations by day will transform into marvelously luminous arrangements at night. Cirque entertainers will mingle with attendees savoring the extensive selections served up in the craft beer and wine gardens.
Gourmet food trucks and regional restaurants will offer a variety of mouthwatering fare ranging from spicy tacos and savory pizzas to hot sausages, thick grilled cheese sandwiches and aromatic Mexican cuisine.
At 7:00 PM when the tasting portion of the event winds down, the main stage will explode starting with The Expendables. Second in line is Pepper and last, but definitely not least, the legendary Snoop Dogg will finish out yet another amazing Rhythm, Wine and Brews Experience 2017.
