Pinecrest Uncorked

California wines, bluesy jazz and moonlit garden paths shape an evening tasting and concert experience at Pinecrest Gardens. Pinecrest Uncorked takes place Saturday, October 24, with guests able to choose between a wine tasting, a live Sound Session performance or a combined VIP experience. The 21-and-over event pairs curated wines and savory bites with a concert by New York-based band Hazmat Modine in the Banyan Bowl. The Uncorked wine tasting invites guests to stroll the garden’s outdoor setting while sampling 12 wines, with savory pairings, a keepsake tasting glass and a wine notes guide included. The concert portion features Hazmat Modine, a group known for blending early blues, gypsy jazz, Afro-Cuban rhythms and global folk influences with harmonica, tuba, horns, banjo, guitar and percussion. Ticket options include tasting-only admission, concert-only admission and VIP access combining both experiences. The concert takes place in the covered Banyan Bowl amphitheater. The wine tasting is planned for an outdoor garden setting, with an indoor backup plan in case of inclement weather.
