Event benefits T.J. Martell Foundation, Music’s Promise for a Cure
Some matches are a natural. Wine and music are a long-standing pairing that just works. It’s no surprise, then, that a growing number of musicians are making their own wine, or lending their name to a vintage.
In celebration of this perfect pairing, The Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa is holding a “Wines that Rock” poolside party, a classic rock event that features wine and spirit labels including those of Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Train, Boz Scaggs, Dave Matthews, and Zac Brown. As the valley prepares for a month of music with the Coachella Music & Arts Festival, Stagecoach, and other music-centric celebrations, “Wines that Rock” takes place at the resort’s Las Brisas pool on Friday April 1, from 6 to 9 p.m.
The cost is $45 per person, inclusive with hors d’oeuvres and tasting plates paired with wine and spirits. There will be a silent auction showcasing music and wine packages, with proceeds benefitting the T.J. Martell Foundation, whose mission is to support innovative groundbreaking research for leukemia, cancer and AIDS. The silent auction items include:
- Josh Groban Super Fan Package
Includes two tickets to see Groban at the Greek Theatre on Saturday, August 27, 2016, with a Meet and Greet before the concert. It also includes an autographed microphone and large cork board poster of Josh Gorban: Stage Vinyl; and a Josh Gorban: Stages CD, and Josh Gorban: Stages Live CD.
