Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 20, 2025! Wild Rose Casino & Hotel is bringing back one of your favorite events, Wild Rose Wine Fest! This year will feature music by The Yacht Groove and will be held in the Wild Rose Courtyard (weather permitting). Gates will open at 1:00 pm with the show starting around 1:30 pm. This community event is free to the public.
Those in attendance may sample wines from some of the finest wineries around the Eastern Iowa area. Sip a familiar favorite, or be adventurous and try a new one! Winery representatives will be on-site to assist you with your selections, offering product knowledge, and answering any questions to help you select the perfect variety. If you find one that you like, visit our sales tent to purchase a bottle to take home or enjoy at the event!
The Yacht Groove became a reality a few Years ago as a high-end Corporate Party Music Agency band booked primarily at: Country Clubs, Special Events and Birthday Parties but in the last couple years they have been doing City parks, Casinos, and Festivals as well. This tightly-knit, fun pop rock act will not disappoint. Performing a concert style compilation of all the recognizable 70’s & 80s radio rock hits you hate to admit you love. This party band cranks out all those party hits of yesterday in a fun filled show format while dressed in laid back Nautical attire and throwing in some smooth yacht-y era banter. Jump on board, enjoy the ride and be the Captain of your own Yacht Rock musical experience. Here’s to good friends. No socks required, sun screen optional.
Feel free to bring your lawn chairs, blankets, and snacks (sorry, no coolers allowed). There will be beverages available for purchase, and local food trucks will be in attendance. If the weather does not cooperate, the event will be moved to our Oakwood Grand Ballroom.
