The Shenandoah Valley Music Festival Guild will hold an autumn  luncheon on Thursday, Sept. 19 at The Winery at Kindred Pointe. The after-lunch entertainment will be by the Shenandoah Valley Ukulele Players. Arrival time for wine tasting and conversation is 11:30 a.m. Lunch is served at 12:15 p.m. Cost is $21. The public is cordially invited

The buffet luncheon will be served by Shaffer’s Catering. It will include parmesan crusted chicken, with lemon and garlic orzo; broccoli salad with cashews served on the side; roasted green beans and assorted hard French rolls and butter. Dessert will be fresh sliced strawberries, cascaded over house-baked pound cake and  whipped topping. Beverages are coffee and sweet and unsweetened tea.

A Cash Wine Bar will also be available.

Back by popular demand for a third Music Guild appearance is the Shenandoah Valley Ukulele Prayers, a group of “young retirees,” who enjoy strumming together. Talented and energetic, the group promises to provide an enjoyable afternoon of  old favorites.

A Tip Basket will be available to show our appreciation, since the Music Guild does not pay its entertainers.

The Winery at Kindred Pointe is located at 3575 Conicville Rd., Mt. Jackson. Owners Bruce and Amy Helsley purchased the 58 acre property in 2005 as a stable and future vineyard. The name “Kindred Pointe” is taken from Amy’s favorite novel, “Anne of Green Gables.” Their first vintage is from their 2012 harvest.
