New partnership brings Wente wines to one of the Bay Area’s most iconic live music venues
April 9, 2026 — Wente Family Vineyards, the country’s longest, continuously family-owned and operated winery, is excited to announce its role as the exclusive wine partner for the 2026 season at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley.
Wente’s portfolio will be available to purchase onsite, including Louis Mel Sauvignon Blanc, Baily Hill Pinot Noir and Hayes Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon and Rose. Guests can enjoy a glass alongside a star-studded lineup featuring artists such as Royel Otis, Lewis Capaldi, Alabama Shakes, James Blake, Bob Dylan, Khalid, Bob Moses & Cannons, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Young The Giant, The Fray, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Thee Sacred Souls, Tori Amos, Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds, Bleachers, Jack Johnson, Jon Batiste, and Jungle
As two storied Bay Area institutions, the partnership is a natural fit, inviting concertgoers – and possibly a new demographic of wine lovers – to experience some of Wente’s most iconic Livermore Valley wines in one of California’s most renowned open-air venues. This collaboration reflects Wente’s continued commitment to supporting its local community while expanding its national presence through new partnerships and activations.
“We’re focused on meeting consumers where they are by introducing wine into more non-traditional wine settings, creating unexpected moments and memories through the sensory prism of flavor and sound,” says Aly Wente, 5th Generation Winegrower and Chief Revenue Officer. “Just as The Greek Theatre has long brought people together through music, Wente has built its legacy around bringing people together through wine.”
As the number 14 super premium California wine brand in the United States, Wente Family Vineyards continues to push the envelope, with this partnership further cementing its legacy as an experience-driven winery. Known for its anticipated annual White Party and fan-favorite Summer Live Music Series, Wente has long been at the forefront of fusing wine with the broader culture.
