Ready For a Little “Life In The Fast Lane”?

August 12th, 2008

This Saturday night Elk Creek Vineyards is having the most amazing concert at their outdoor amphitheater!  If you’ve never had a chance to check out one of our  great outdoor concerts now would be the perfect time to start.  The Kentucky Symphony will be playing music from a little band called The Eagles . . . maybe you’ve heard of them?  If you haven’t than you’re either still in diapers or you’ve had your head buried in the sand for about 30 years!  The Eagles are one of the greatest rock bands that ever lived.  They’ve won five Grammy’s and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.  This concert is going to be amazing! 

The Kentucky Symphony is combining classical music with the hard sound of rock giving us the best of both worlds.  Their 50 piece orchestra and a full rock band will perform classic songs from The Eagles in a brilliant combination of passion and power.  Delivering the vocals out front are Terry Brock, Randy Jackson and John Hines.  “The music itself is one thing, but these singers along with the background singers more than capture the spirit of the original songs,” says creator and conductor Brent Havens.

If you live in the Cincinnati or Louisville area and really want to come, but are hesitant on driving to and from the event, just click on over to our home page and check out all the information on our “Wine Bus”.  Kentucky Wine Country Tours has assembled package deals which include round trip transportation to/from Elk Creek plus admission tickets to the concert. 

Now that we’ve got all your bases covered, there’s nothing to stop you from getting together with friends and enjoying great wine and great music!  So sit back, relax and enjoy the Music of The Eagles!

Are You Ready For a Little Relaxation?

August 6th, 2008

Every weekend at Elk Creek Vineyards there’s something going on, whether it’s a music festival at the outdoor amphitheater, a gallery art showing, cooking classes and wine tasting just to name a few.  There is definitely something for everyone.  However, if you’re looking to just relax and do nothing, you couldn’t ask for a better place to do it.  

Last weekend my husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary.  We didn’t want a big celebration, just to spend a quiet weekend together relaxing and enjoying each others company.  Elk Creek Vineyards gave us the perfect opportunity to do just that.  Knowing that’s what we had in mind my husband had previously reserved a room at the Lodge for the weekend.  To say it was absolutely beautiful is an understatement!  The Lodge was charming and warm and just walking through the door I could feel my stress level drop.  After checking in we spent the day Friday at The Hunt Club shooting sporting clays on the woods course.  If you’ve never shot sporting clays you have to give it a try.  We love it and go every chance we get!  Anyway back to the weekend…  

Friday night was a romantic evening on the deck of the winery while listening to some amazing local musicians play.  Saturday we had a “couples massage” that was beyond relaxing then had a wonderful lunch at the cafe.  The rest of the day was filled with whatever we wanted to do at our own leisure – a tour of the winery, browsing through the art gallery, wine tasting and a perfect ending to a perfect day - sitting on the deck watching the sun go down with a great bottle of wine.  What more could you ask for?!

Next time you’re planning a weekend getaway with your significant other or even family and friends be sure to check out everything Elk Creek Winery has to offer.  Whether it’s a weekend to party or a weekend to relax, you’ll find it here at Elk Creek!
