Acoustic artist Dante Zapata is self-taught singer and guitar player who started learning the language of music around the age of 12. Dante's love of music is matched only by his passion for family and Oregon wine country. He has performed national and internationally in France, Switzerland, Seattle, California, Colorado, Tennessee, South Carolina, and New York. Dante brings a soft, soulful vibe to the tasting room, playing everything from blues to country, jazz to gospel, in his words, "music for soul."

The tasting room is open from 3-8 pm with music from 6-8 pm. Award-winning, student-made wine along with beer, cider, non-alcoholic drinks and charcuterie platters are available in the tasting room or feel free to bring your own picnic. Weather permitting, seating on the patio is on a first come, first served basis. Otherwise, the performance will be indoors. For groups of 6 or more, please contact Chemeketa Cellars for reserved seating. This event is free and open to all ages.
