Located on the
Washington-Oregon border, Maryhill Winery's 4,000-seat outdoor
amphitheater offers sweeping views of the Columbia River
Gorge. The amphitheatre is built into an existing slope on the
grounds next to the winery and tasting room, enchanting lovers
of music, wine and the great outdoors with its magic every
year. When winery owners Craig and Vicki Leuthold rebuilt the
stunning amphitheater just three years ago, they had just one
goal in mind.
"We wanted
to provide wine and music enthusiasts in the Pacific Northwest
and beyond with a venue unlike any other," said Craig Leuthold, owner and founder of Maryhill
Winery. "There are very few places where you can sit outside
on a warm summer night enjoying live music by fantastic
artists and sipping award-winning wine, all while taking in
the breathtaking views offered by the Columbia River Gorge. We
offer something truly unique and look forward to offering our
guests the high caliber lineup we have this year."All concerts take place at 7 p.m. the night of the
event. Tickets, which go on sale April 24, range in price^
from $35 to $70 (plus service charges), depending on the show.
Concert dates at Maryhill Winery & Amphitheater are as
follows:
Train -- July 10
Lyle Lovett -- July 17
Jackson Browne -- July 31
