In May, Thornton Winery will celebrate 26 years of bringing exciting and memorable jazz performers to Temecula Valley Wine Country – performers Tonya Wake, Champagne Jazz Manager refers to as the
“A-List”.
It’s upbeat and fun, warm and inviting. It’s the Champagne Jazz Series starting Saturday, May 17th and going through October and offering concertgoers a superb lineup of top-name musicians and, of course, perfectly paired wines and champagne. Almost every weekend offers a choice of open seating or reservations for dinner in the cool patio of the winery.
John and Sally Thornton, along with their son, Steve, run the winery which is situated on 20 acres along Rancho California Road. “We look forward to a great new season with new artists too – come and enjoy with your family and friends,” said Steve Thornton.
According to Champagne Jazz Manager, Tonya Wake, about 650 people usually attend a performance. Some come from San Diego, Los Angeles, Palm Springs and even other states to see the shows.
“The concerts come across as small and quaint,” said Tonya. “It’s outdoors, which people like, ad the venue allows them to feel like they’re part of a great event. The intimate and acoustically superb Mediterranean fountain terrace overlooking the beautiful Temecula Wine Country offers a memorable and unique concert experience. Many ticketholders come back year after year.”
Thornton Winery continues to build on its national and critically acclaimed reputation as one of the finest outdoor venues. The intimate and acoustically superb Mediterranean fountain terrace, overlooking the beautiful Temecula Wine Country, offers a memorable and unique concert experience unmatched in Southern California.
