The artists are larger than life, the venue is iconic and the concerts will be legendary. Mission Hill Family Estate is proud to announce the performers appearing this summer at the winery’s spectacular outdoor amphitheatre.
The 2018 concerts include: Chris Isaak on Saturday, June 23; a special performance by Sheryl Crow on Friday, July 20 for members of Mission Hill’s Privilege Wine Club; multiple Grammy Award-winning American jazz instrumentalist Chris Botti on Wednesday, August 8; and The Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes and Tonino Baliardo on Saturday, August 11.
Tickets for the performances (except Sheryl Crow) will go on sale to the public on Wednesday, May 2 at 10:00am at missionhillwinery.com or (250) 762-5050. Tickets for Sheryl Crow were made available to members of Mission Hill’s Privilege Wine Club; for more information about the club and to join, missionhillwinery.com/membership.
With the creation of the Amphitheatre, Proprietor Anthony von Mandl, a strong proponent of the arts, created a unique opportunity for guests to enjoy a spectacular evening of music, wine and cuisine at one of Canada’s premiere outdoor concert venues.
“A performance under the open sky at our outdoor Amphitheatre is a truly unforgettable experience,” says von Mandl. “There is something extraordinarily special about this intimate hilltop location. We are thrilled to welcome these exceptional musical performers to the winery this summer.”
For artists who command much larger venues the small capacity Amphitheatre provides a rare treat for those eager to engage with their fans on a more intimate level. Brilliant sound, glorious music, the taste of Mission Hill wines and the flavour of the food, combine to make the evening unforgettable.
