In honor of Talon's Summer Concert Series celebrating its fifth anniversary, organizers are offering tickets to this monthly romp at a recession-proof $5. Instead of having pricier tickets as in previous years, which also came with a dinner, this year patrons can visit onsite food vendors or bring a picnic along (no outside beverages; of course, there's plenty of wine on hand).
Bands perform on the winery's Monarch Pavilion while audience members loosen up at tables and kick back on the lawn (or dance in the pavilion, if the mood hits them). Organizers say as many as 500 revelers can show up for the concert each month, depending on the weather. This year's music ranges from R&B to bluegrass.
Also, beginning in June, Talon will host the relaxed Wine Down Fridays (6 - 8 p.m.) on the first and third Friday of every month, where local musicians play on the back porch and corn hole boards are set up in the lawn. And be sure to check out the Kentucky Wine & Art Festival June 19 - 21, featuring some of the areas finest artists, wine samples, performing arts and children activities.
