The stage was nicely set. Artists can be easily seen if you don&#8217;t sit too far out, good speakers, and sound systems. I love how the amphitheater is not big so that the concert feels very intimate and romantic. The Concert at The Wente Vineyards is a perfect spot for celebrate special occasions.<\/p>\n<p>They transported us from the parking lot to the gate with their golf <a href=\"https:\/\/deplifestylemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/wente-summer-concert.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-777 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/deplifestylemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/wente-summer-concert-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"wente summer concert\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deplifestylemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/wente-summer-concert-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/deplifestylemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/wente-summer-concert.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>carts, just perfect for 5-inch heels.The staff was super attentive.
