Alto Vineyards Cosmic Crossroads

Please join us for four days of music, food, entertainment, education, and of course award-winning Alto wines, in celebration of this historic, once in a life time, opportunity to experience the cosmic crossroads of two total solar eclipses in an unprecedented span of only seven years. At Alto Vineyards, we are uniquely situated to enjoy a great view this breathtaking event! We offer a beautiful and spacious tasting room with entertainment and 5 acres of grounds and buildings with varied activities. On the day of the eclipse, music will include Sones de Mexico Ensemble, Chicago’s premier Mexican folk music group from noon to the eclipse. https://youtu.be/rb0F7bEfro0?si=E9uhjpA4vUtSV6F5 . The concert will be broadcast live via Facebook and YouTube and is supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Illinois Arts Council Arts and Illinois Humanities Foreground Rural Initiative. A fandango will follow.
Following the eclipse, Leight July, a local favorite will play from 3:00 pm -6:00 pm (https://www.facebook.com/leightjulymusic/). We will feature a “Kids Corner’ for the young ones to engage in educational activities related to the eclipse.
We offer two options for admission: a general admission per vehicle to all the festivities admission and a limited VIP option on our scenic Vine Deck where you will receive food, wine, gifts, and special attention.
