I love me some bluegrass, especially while enjoying some fine wine!
Yee-haw!…Sounds like a boot-scooting good time!
I really really would like to win because this event combines so many of the things I enjoy… Bluegrass, BBQ, wine, food, and fire dancers! Especially the wine.
I want to win because I think fire dancers are very talented and they inspire me to try new and crazy things…and I need to stick up on wine
I would love to take my Husband on our first date night, since our daughter was born 6 months ago, to see some bluegrass, his favorite, have some bbq, both of our favorites and wine…my favorite!!!
I want to win because Im trying the mobile ap for the first time and thrilled that it worked
Because Van Duzer knows how to make some of the best red wine ever!! Listening to some Blue Grass and BBQ? Can’t beat that right?
I love me some BBQ!
Please please please. I want to win because I love van duzer wines, music, and Bon fires :)
My dad just moved here from NJ and we both LOVE Bluegrass!! Sounds like an awesome time…. (and a good way to show him Portland is AMAZING!)
excellent music at one of my very favorite wineries…who could ask for more?….see you at the Boo Bash :D
This event is a combination of wonderful things! Wine, bluegrass, wine, fire dancers, wine, beautiful countryside, more wine and………..BAR–BE–QUE!!!!
What, I ask, could be better!!!!
My roomates brother is in town and we are looking for something fun to do. Now that Portland Monthly magazine gave away our secret swimming spot we are hopelessly searching for activities to fill the void
Oooooh boy! Bluegrass and BBQ? Thats what I’m talking about! I’m a broke college student looking for something cool to do for a first date. Pick me pick me :)
Bluegrass, fire, and vineyard!
I love to dance to some bluegrass music and the thought of a BBQ, a fire, some fire dancers all topped off with some wine just get me a little too excited… I am also a full time Americorps volunteer and live on 100$ a month… would love to have a night out
I fell in love with Van Duzer when I worked at a steakhouse in Oklahoma that promoted their wines. Great taste, and the bottles are just beautiful, I always wanted a poster. This would be a great time!
Few would appreciate the bluegrass music more than my girlfriend and myself, as we have been fans for 40 years in various places across the country and in different times. We were moved, like Steve Martin, upon Earl Scruggs recent passing to play some old favorites and lament that there are not more opportunities to enjoy live bluegrass and good country music in Oregon. A great opportunity to visit a local producer of quality wines with the cool Van Duzer breeze, and participate in the social activities! I’m ready for a game of horseshoes, where if not a ringer, close is sometimes good enough.
I love bluegrass!!!! I love BBQ!!!!! I’ve never been to this winery. Sounds like a rad time!
Oh I would love to be able to take my mom to this over the weekend. We both love bluegrass and went to festivals all the time when I was younger. This would be a great way to spend the evening!
This would be such a sweet blast from my chldhood past. I miss my step dad so much; playing his banjo and his mandolin was how he wooed my mom back in 1968, and they were ultimately married and he played for her until she died 6 years ago, and he died a year later of lonliness. Please send me.
This souls AWESOME!
We would love this WAY more than Steve!! ^
I’ve had such a tricky time finding bluegrass around here! What an absolutely perfect way to spend an evening- gorgous setting, great music, excellent wines and fabulous company! <3
Yes Please! My Husband is from Japan and he needs to hear authentic Bluegrass!
I’ve traveled around the South and listened to alot of Bluegrass but believe some of the best bands reside in the Northwest! We do so much of everything with more passion here. Send me the tickets and I will give you the best return on your investment per ticket to be had!!
I adore Bluegrass! And BBQ. I would love to share those passions with my partner.
Sounds heavenly! A great party for me and my teacher friends before we return to school.
What better opportunity than this to get to know my new home of Willamette Valley Oregon? Great food, wine, music and Fire dancers? You can’t beat that!
Sounds like it could be a good time. Something to do, anyways.
I kick ass at horseshoes!
We have actually been interested in joining a wine club, this sounds like the perfect evening to sample some new wines and enjoy ourselves!!
Super Fun!
This sounds like a blast and a great way to enjoy the weather!
we just so happen to be on the coast, staying in newport tonite, then heading back to p-town saturday afternoon…what a way to end a fantastic tour of the pacific ocean, the 101, and wine country, particularly for my mum from texas and my visiting parisian friend!
Just moved from the south. Start a new job Monday. Looking to find tons of cool new stuff to do and want to see how this BBQ stacks up to southern bbq
sounds like a great time… and I have a friend in town to help me party.
a girlfriend and I are going out saturday and she has NEVER listened to blue grass. Let me show her the way :D
You had me at fire dancers :)
Would love to win these tickets! Just moved out here from connecicut and would enjoy a chance to check out some fire dancers, local food and music. Thank you!
wow, this sounds feekin awesome, I still have yet to hear any good live bluegrass since moving to the US! Can you change that for me and give my 3 best friends the time of their lives at the same time!?
Headed to IRAQ as a contractor for the Marines. I want to go have some fun before I deploy. Thanks!
have you announced a winner yet?
My 5 year old son gets out his yuke and has begun to make up the most hilarious bluegrass songs. Only bluegrass! It’s been his favorite pretty much since he’s been able to tell us he liked it. I’d love to take him to this! Maybe they’d let him get up on stage ot perform one of his originals.
