Summer Concert Series at Stonington Vineyards: Brad Bensko

Summer Concert Series at Stonington Vineyards returns as a seasonal tradition at Stonington Vineyards, bringing live music from Brad Bensko, food, and wine together for relaxed Friday evenings throughout the summer. Running from 6:00 to 9:00 PM across July and August, the series features a rotating lineup of local and regional acts, creating a consistent weekly destination for outdoor entertainment. Set against the vineyard’s open lawn, the event offers a laid-back setting that encourages guests to settle in and enjoy the evening.

Each week highlights a different performer, ranging from solo artists to full bands, alongside food truck offerings that complement the vineyard’s wine selection. Guests can spread out with lawn chairs or blankets, creating a casual, picnic-style atmosphere that makes it easy to stay for the full set. The combination of live music, open space, and sunset views gives the series a steady, easy rhythm that fits the pace of a summer evening.

Beyond the entertainment, the series supports the local community, with 20% of net ticket proceeds benefiting a different charity or organization each week. This adds an additional layer to the experience, connecting each concert to a local cause while maintaining the focus on music and atmosphere. With a full schedule of performances and a consistent outdoor setting, the Summer Concert Series offers a reliable way to spend Friday nights throughout the season.
