(Livermore Valley, July 10)—Golfers looking for someone special to add to their afternoon foursome at The Course At Wente Vineyards this summer might consider comic genius George Carlin, or the soulful Gladys Knight. They are among the headline performers included in the Tees & Tunes Package that combines golf with dinner and the sounds of the Concerts at Wente Vineyards.
For lovers of golf and music, the Greg Norman-designed Course at Wente Vineyards presents the unique opportunity to play one of Northern California’s most spectacular golf courses and then top it off with superb dining and entertainment. The package combines 18 holes of golf and a ticket to the dinner concert scheduled for that evening in the open-air setting of the famed Livermore Valley winery.
Golf on the home turf of the Nationwide Tour’s Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship is complete with cart, full use of the practice range and a complimentary yardage guide. Plus, the advance tee-time reservation fee will be waived. The superb course conditioning that goes into the annual tour event is maintained year round to provide guests with a memorable golfing experience.
The Concerts At Wente Vineyards, now in their 21st season, are known for unforgettable nights of stellar entertainment and fine dining.
And new this year for select shows: a dance floor to move, groove and swing everything but your golf clubs.
The Tees & Tunes Package is available for: July 24 (Gladys Knight), July 26 (Big Bad Voodoo Daddy), Aug. 8 (George Carlin) and Aug. 15 (UB40). The cost is $209 per person, up to a $65 savings for some acts. The Tees & Tunes Package is available only through the Wente Vineyards Box Office. Call (925) 456-2424.
Also, for those who care to stay nearby after the concert, a "Wente Rate" is available for golfers at the Lafayette Park Hotel and Spa (Lafayette), Rose Hotel (Pleasanton) and Courtyard Marriott (Livermore).

About The Course at Wente Vineyards
Opened in 1998, The Course at Wente Vineyards is one of California’s finest golf destinations, laid out along the Wente family estate vineyards in Livermore, 45 minutes east of San Francisco, where 18 championship holes play through the vineyards, rolling hills, and scenic valleys. Bentgrass greens, rye grass fairways, classic-style bunkers and water hazards add to the challenge of the par 72 that includes more that 200 feet of elevation change. The clubhouse is modeled after an Australian station house, reminiscent of Greg Norman’s childhood in The Outback. The Course is located at 5050 Arroyo Road, Livermore, CA 94550.

About The Concerts at Wente Vineyards
Fine wine and food, complemented by gracious, personal service, are the hallmarks of the Wente Vineyards concert experience. Concerts are held at the beautiful Wente Vineyards Restaurant and Event Center, located at 5050 Arroyo Road, in a picturesque valley a few miles south of the town of Livermore. Seating is in a terraced amphitheater surrounded by gardens, hillsides and tile-roofed winery buildings recreated in the style of old California. Patrons can choose either a four-course dinner in the award-winning The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards, followed by reserved, stage-front seating, or a buffet- style dinner at tables of ten on the lawn. The intimate nature of the setting limits the number of tickets sold so that every seat offers guests an outstanding entertainment experience.
