Welcome to the official Fiddles, Vittles and Vino site. This year's event will take place on
We would like to announce that we have booked The High 48s Bluegrass Band from Minneapolis Minnesota. They are the 1st place winners of the 2008 Rockygrass Band Competition.
Check out the video below for a preview! Also on this year's lineup is Palmer Divide, Anne and Pete Sibley (winners of the talent contest on Prairie Home Companion in April), and the Acme Bluegrass Band.
Fiddles, Vittles and Vino is an annual event that takes place at the Rock Ledge Ranch Historic site, featuring live bluegrass music and a tasting involving fine local restaurants as well as a plethora of wine and beer vendors. Proceeds from the festival are donated to Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site. For more information, read the sidebar to the right!
Each year Club Nine, a non-profit consisting of local civic-minded chefs, donates the proceeds from Fiddles, Vittles and Vino to further agricultural programs at Rock Ledge Ranch. The fruits of their labor thus far include funding apple trees to rejuvenate the property's orchard, as well as an asparagus and berry crop. Club Nine hopes to eventually fund larger projects such as the construction of a greenhouse. These projects both beautify the Ranch while restoring it's original purpose, with the ultimate goal being a synergy between local restaurants and Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site.
The Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site is an educational, non-profit living history farm and museum. Click the logo below to go to their website.
