Welcome to a festival of Michigan wine, lively music, unique food and fun at the Silver Beach Shadowland Pavilion from 6:00pm - 10:00pm in St. Joseph-Sat August 27, 2011.

Participating local wineries include Tabor Hill Winery, White Pine Winery, Contessa Winery, Domaine Berrien and Lemon Creek Winery. Chateau Chantal Grand Traverse and Leelanau Cellars from northern Michigan will also be present. The Pump House and Cassava Latin Cuisine will feature a delicious tapas menu.

Music will showcase Marcus Robinson and his crew opening for The Big Payback from Madison Wisconsin! The Big Payback is a hard-hitting nine-piece band featuring a smoking four-man horn section and a soulful female vocalist. Exploring everything from funk-laden and worldbeat originals to soul and R&B b-sides, The Big Payback will leave the crowd as exhausted as the musicians themselves! Payback is a party you won't want to miss...
