Groovine, The Vinguard’s first-ever music and wine festival, is coming up on September 27 at the Haight Street Art Center. Rainbow Girls, one of the best-known northern California music acts, is headlining, and Lalin St. Juste, an artist committed to elevating queer voices in the African and Caribbean diaspora, and songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Aviva Le Fay, are also performing.
In addition to the amazing performers, Groovine will also showcase a diverse selection of wines from renowned women-owned wineries and local importers, as well as bites from top local restaurants.. Not least, this will be one of the last opportunities you'll have to see We Are the One: San Francisco Punk 1970s—1980s. It's a fantastic, must-see time capsule of Bay Area music history.
The Vinguard is a leading voice for social change in the wine industry, with programs such as WINeFare and Guardian Vital promoting equity, inclusion, and sustainability.
