Can you feel it? This year, our anticipation for fall is at an all-time high, and what better way to ring in its arrival than with a weekend adventure to Louisiana’s charming twin cities of Monroe and West Monroe. These friendly and charming communities are exceptional places to feel the embrace of autumn. Taste something new and delicious, dance to live music, and enjoy numerous holiday festivities. Here’s more of what’s in store in Monroe and West Monroe.
A cold drink (or two) at a cool fall event: Landry Vineyards' Outdoor Concert Series.
What do you get when you combine live music crisp fall air, and a glass (or two…) of wine? Fall fun like you’ve never experienced it at Landry Vineyards' Outdoor Music Concerts! One of the region’s most charming annual events, this long-running concert series invites visitors to bring a lawn chair or a blanket and choose a breezy spot on the vineyard’s hilly grounds. Pack your own picnic, or purchase delectable jambalaya, boudin and cheese plates to enjoy while live bands play. You’ll have plenty of space to showcase your two-step skills while the kids romp on the grounds nearby, too.
Five concerts take place this fall, all featuring different genres of music, so there's something to appeal to everyone’s tastes. Be sure to save time for a wagon ride to explore the vineyard’s beautiful grounds, home to native grapes used to produce the winery’s 20 different varietals. Landry Vineyards wines are available for purchase by the glass or bottle during the event.
Landry Vineyards uses native grapes to make 20 different styles of wine.
Raise a glass to the fun! Times vary at each of the five fall concerts, but they all deliver a rocking good time. No pets or outside alcohol, please. Here's who's on-stage this season.
