Join Rick Vandivier, Hristo Vitchev, and Mason Razavi for a jazz guitar extravaganza at Coterie Winery! Each prolific artists and bandleaders in their own right, the trio comes together to celebrate Father’s Day weekend with the fun and exploratory 3-guitar format.
Each ticket includes a glass of wine. Coterie makes every wine berry to bottle by hand with exceptional care in the vineyard and non-interventional practices at the winery. The winery is nestled in a cozy neighborhood near downtown San Jose, where it transformed an old warehouse into a beautiful place for wine.
Shows at 6:30pm and 9pm
