About Our Concert Venue
All of our Twisted Folk concerts take place at the Winery in Vallecito, CA, located just about halfway between Angels Camp and Murphys, just off of Highway 4 at Red Hill Road. (Get directions here.)
When you arrive, turn onto Red Hill Road and then enter at the first driveway on your right. (Note that we close the gates at 5:30pm which is the tasting room closing time, and re-open them at 6:30pm.) Follow the winding gravel road up to the venue where our crack parking staff will guide you to a spot.
From your car proceed east towards 350-year-old California Blue Oak which is the Twisted Oak tree. You will see a tent where you can check in to the event and get your wristband. (You gotta have a wristband.)
Seating is "festival style": once you have your wristband, wander over to the stage area and choose your spot. Even for a full event there are no "bad seats" - there is a great view of the stage from all locations, not to mention a great view of the surrounding countryside!
Please bring your own blanket or chair to sit on. We ask that you bring a "low back" chair if at all possible. If you have to bring a full size chair, please locate yourself back by the sound tent and take care not to block people behind you. (It's actually a pretty good spot, that's why the sound people are there!)
At the event start time, it is usually still quite sunny so plan accordingly for hats, sunscreen, etc. Also, even though the days are warm, the nights can cool down. Bring an extra layer just in case. (And by the way, the show goes on, rain or shine - we're sorry but we cannot offer rain checks.)
At all events we have wine (yay!), water, soft drinks, and food available for purchase - just look for the big structure opposite the stage. We have a selection of hot food, chips, cookies, and popcorn available for purchase. Come for dinner!
You can bring in your own food and beverage, but please do not bring in any outside alcoholic beverages. Our license does not permit it.
Finally, some boring legal crap: Under California law we have the obligation to not serve wine to any obviously intoxicated person. For your protection, we will ask any patron who is behaving in a disruptive or intoxicated manner to leave the premises, without refund. Please come, enjoy the music, and travel home safe!
