Imagine summer in the vineyard with live music and fantastic cuisine! The Mission Hill Summer Concert Series is back, bringing world-class musical talent to their spectacular outdoor Amphitheatre. In addition to the concerts, they offer experiential packages to enable guests to enjoy an unforgettable evening of food, wine and song.
Mission Hill Summer Concert Series
Cowboy Junkies – July 7th – Sold Out
Michael Bolton – July 8th
Jewel – July 28th – Sold Out
Chris Botti – August 3rd – Sold Out
The intimacy of these concerts is a popular element for guests, who can enjoy their favourite artists up close in an atmosphere that’s as far from an arena performance as possible. Brilliant sound, the scents of summer, the taste of Mission Hill wines and food, prepared on-site by the estate’s new Executive Winery Chef, Brad Froelich, and his staff, combine to make the evening unforgettable.
Tickets are still available for the Michel Bolton performance but they’re going fast! Call (250) 762-5050 or book online now »

In addition to supporting humanitarian causes through his Michael Bolton Charities for the past 22 years, he’s also performed with Luciano Pavarotti, BB King, and Ray Charles; written with Bob Dylan, Paul Stanley and Lady Gaga; and had songs recorded by Cher, Streisand, Kanye West and Jay Z.

“A concert performance under the open sky at our outdoor Amphitheatre is a truly unforgettable experience,” states von Mandl. “There is something extraordinarily special about this intimate hilltop location; a wonderful outdoor concert experience reminiscent of the grand performances staged at Europe’s historic open-air Roman amphitheatres. We are thrilled to welcome these exceptional musical performers to the winery this summer.”
