Back for More Bliss: Our Summer Music Plans at Point of the Bluff Winery!

Jim Moore • December 22, 2025

From Legendary Rock to Bluegrass Bliss: Why Point of the Bluff is Our Favorite 2026 Concert Destination.

Get ready, friends, because we’re already buzzing with excitement for the upcoming Summer of Music at Point of the Bluff Winery! If you’ve been following our adventures, you know we're huge fans of this incredible Finger Lakes venue. Last year, we had the absolute pleasure of catching Taj Mahal and Keb' Mo' there, and it was a truly fantastic experience – the perfect blend of world-class music, stunning lakeside views, and that laid-back Finger Lakes charm. The sound was crisp, the atmosphere was electric yet intimate, and we just knew we had to come back for more.

And "more" is exactly what's on the menu for 2026! Point of the Bluff Winery has truly outdone themselves with a lineup that offers something for everyone, making it the perfect spot for a memorable summer evening with good company. We're already circling dates on our calendars, planning which local wines to pair with which tunes.


Here’s a sneak peek at some of the incredible acts we’re looking forward to:


  • The Australian Bee Gees Show (July 11, 2026): Get ready to boogie down! We're talking disco lights, falsettos, and all the classic hits that will have us transported straight back to the 70s. We can already imagine ourselves humming along to "Stayin' Alive" with a glass of crisp Finger Lakes white in hand. This promises to be a high-energy night of pure fun and nostalgia. More Info: The Australian Bee Gees Show
  • Three Dog Night (August 1, 2026): What a legendary act! With hits like "Joy to the World" and "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)," Three Dog Night brings a timeless rock sound that’s just perfect for a warm summer night under the stars. We know this concert will be packed with singalongs and good vibes. This is definitely one for the books! More Info: Three Dog Night
  • The Infamous Stringdusters with Special Guest Driftwood (August 15, 2026): For those of us who appreciate incredible musicianship and a more rootsy, bluegrass-inspired sound, this is going to be a phenomenal show. The Infamous Stringdusters are known for their electrifying live performances and harmonies, and with Driftwood joining them, it’s bound to be an unforgettable evening of Americana.

  • 7 Bridges: The Ultimate Eagles Experience (August 22, 2026): Who doesn't love the Eagles? We've heard fantastic things about 7 Bridges' ability to capture the iconic harmonies and classic rock sound of one of the greatest bands of all time. We’re already practicing our high notes for "Hotel California" and "Take It Easy." This tribute band promises a night of pure classic rock nostalgia in a beautiful setting. More Info: 7 Bridges


The magic of Point of the Bluff Winery isn't just the music, though it's certainly a huge part of it. It’s the entire package: the stunning setting overlooking Keuka Lake, the delicious wines (and often local craft beers!), and the overall welcoming atmosphere that makes every concert feel like a special occasion. If you haven’t experienced a show there yet, 2026 is definitely the year to do it. We can't wait to see you there, enjoying some fantastic tunes and making new memories under the Finger Lakes sky!
