SUMMARY:Music & Food in the Vineyard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for live music presented by a local musical group\, The Shelby Rae Moore Band.  The Shelby Rae Moore Band features Shelby Rae Moore along with her uncles Brent and Chet Palmer on guitars. Coming from a family of musicians\, Moore began her singing career before she can even remember. Some of Moore’s reimagined hits originate from familiar favorites such as Santana\, Amy Winehouse\, and Stevie Wonder! \nThe Lazy Bear Eatery food truck is back for the season! They’re unique not only for the mouthwatering menu but also for its heartwarming start-up story. This culinary adventure blossomed from a special friendship-turned-partnership when Bob and Sandy\, wine club members and close friends of the Tatums\, joined forces with the Vineyard to create a seasonal on-site dining experience. Lazy Bear offers a menu that complements our wines perfectly with finger-licking options such as the NC BBQ Sandwich\, Maine Lobster Roll\, Honey Glaze Brussels\, and so much more! \nClick here to view their menu!
