Apple Hill® Winery Electric Live Music | AcustaGruve 2026
Get ready to feel the groove: on Friday, August 14, 2026, Starfield Vineyards is proud to present AcustaGruve as part of our Summer Music Series — and this is one night the El Dorado foothills won’t soon forget. Blending 80s, 90s, current hits, and timeless classics into something entirely their own, they bring a fresh energy to every song they play. If you’re looking for a night that’s equal parts soulful and danceable, this is your show.
Our vineyard sits in the scenic hills above town, just a short drive from Sacramento. Settle in on the lawn with a glass of wine, feel the warm summer air, and let the band take care of the rest.
About the Band
Not your typical cover band, they take your favorite songs and give them a fresh twist — combining acoustic and electric instruments, soulful harmony vocals, and full percussion into a sound that’s as unique as it is captivating. From feel-good classics to songs that’ll pull you onto the dance floor, the energy they bring is something you have to experience in person. Follow them on Facebook to catch videos, updates, and a taste of what’s in store for August 14th.
The Starfield Vineyards Summer Concert Series
Kick back and enjoy the evening under the lights as part of our annual Summer Music Series. We are so excited to share this night with you. Come ready for dancing, great company, and delicious wine and beer — all set against the stunning backdrop of our outdoor amphitheater, with rolling vineyard views and warm summer air filling the valley.
Gates open at 5:30 PM, live music runs from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM, and the venue closes at 10:00 PM. That gives you a full hour to arrive, settle in, and explore the wine bar before the first note hits — and a relaxed half hour after the show to wrap up your evening. Whether you’re making it a date night, a group outing, or a solo evening out, this is the kind of experience that’s hard to match anywhere in the foothills. Bring a blanket or low-back chairs, pack a picnic, and make yourself at home.
