Rock the Vine Music Festival

The proverbial search for wine, women and song takes on a noble air at Rock the Vine 3, another charity fundraiser from the volunteer-run, music-driven nonprofit Rock the Cause. Held on the grounds of one of Minnesota’s biggest wineries, the eight-hour, nine-band festival boasts two of Minnesota’s best-known electronic-rooted rock groups, Halloween, Alaska and Solid Gold, along with bombastic rockers White Light Riot, twangier favorites Haley Bonar and Farewell Milwaukee and more. Wine sampling is part of the blend, as is local food and craft beer. Chris Riemenschneider
