Clearlake Oaks >> Approximately 200 people braved the dicey weather on Oct. 25 to attend Cache Creek Vineyard”s inaugural Boots, Wine and Barbecue concert event.
Up-and-coming country singer McKenna Faith performed for the crowd and Running Creek Casino provided a barbecue spread. Wine specials were offered by the glass and bottle and beer from Kelsey Creek Brewing was available as well.
“This was a wonderful event. Great friends, music, food, wine and beer from Kelsey Creek Brewing. We had a fantastic girl”s night out. The staff was so friendly and fun loving. I would love to attend another event like this,” attendee Helen McCune said.
The menu included tri tip, chicken quarters, pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw, red potato salad, baked beans and garlic bread. Running Creek executive chef Matt Young provided the meal, and Cache Creek Vineyards will partner with him and the team at Running Creek Casino for future events.
“We were very pleased and honored to be a part of the ”social event of the season” in Lake County and to work with such an outstanding group of professional people at Cache Creek Vineyards,” Frank Hughes, director of food and beverage at Running Creek Casino, said.
Despite sporadic rains leading up to the event, the event was relatively dry with just a sprinkle of rain as people first began to arrive. Concert goers were able to take shelter and stay cozy on a large covered patio that also has built in heaters.
The next event at Cache Creek Vineyards will be a Holiday Charity Faire on Dec. 6.
Tasting room is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at 250 New Long Valley Road in Clearlake Oaks.
