What a beautiful location for outdoor theater! The Vineyard Conservatory at Rustic Roots Winery is a perfect spot for The Two Gentlemen of Verona. It’s so much more than a “tent” with gorgeous views of the vineyard. It brings the outdoors in giving the feeling of sitting in nature. The open air and multiple entrances, create an immersive experience with the cast coming from different directions and moving among the audience.

Two Gents is a story of best friends, love, then betrayal, then love again, with lots and lots of shenanigans among the servants. Oh and sword fighting! 😉

The whole company is a joy to watch. I absolutely loved watching Proteus (one of the gents/best friends) played by Alix Galick because he has the best facial expressions. He speaks as much with his face as his words. Truly the whole cast is fantastic, full of life, vigor, and entertaining. It was a fun night filled with laughter.

AND my very favorite, star of the show, is Crab. The dog played by Kona. What a rockstar pup. 🐾

Rustic Roots Winery food options.

Rustic Roots Winery food is delicous! You can choose between the Rustic Bistro or The Grill. We love their snack board, salads, and flatbread from the bistro and burgers from the grill.

🍷The wine is fantastic, especially the summer slushies!
