Open to the public, attendees are encouraged to bring their families for an afternoon of good food, live music and wine sampling! Admission to Dine & Wine Under the Vines will include food from local LRA member restaurants and live entertainment by Lisa Spann & Co. Wine from Landry’s Vineyard will be available to purchase. For maximum comfort, guests should bring lawn chairs and blankets to relax and “un-WINE-d.”
