Born right here in the Tri-Cities, Soup Dogs began when a group of Columbia Center Rotarians came together to play music for a fundraiser supporting the fight against human trafficking.

Vicki Barbalok - Comedy Show
We know that Comedy Shows and a Winery Restaurant don't usually go hand in hand, but when we had the opportunity to bring Vicki Barbolak to the Tri-Cities, we couldn't pass it up.
Barbolak was a Top-Ten Finalist in the 2018 Season of America's Got Talent and has been selling out shows ever since.
Judge Simon Cowell even went as far as to say, "I think you're the best comedian that we've had on this show."
Barbolak is also the winner of "California's Funniest Female" Contest.
$50.00 Ticket purchase covers the cost of admission to this Comedy Show. Beverages and Appetizers will be available for purchase before and during the event.
This event will be held in our private Barrel Room event space, away from the Restaurant.
