Former New York Yankees centerfielder and jazz musician Bernie Williams will perform at Millbrook Vineyards & Winery in Dutchess County on Saturday, June 28. The concert, starting at 6 p.m., will feature Williams and his Band of Friends, along with an opening act by Dutchess Community College (DCC) music students.
Williams, known for his passion for music and wine, has partnered with Millbrook Winery to create "Bernie’s Blend," a red wine featuring Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. A portion of the proceeds from ticket and wine sales will support music programs at DCC, reflecting Williams' commitment to music education.
Williams expressed his excitement about the event, stating, "Returning to Millbrook Winery and being a part of something that blends music, wine, and community is always one of the highlights of my summer." The concert will proceed rain or shine, and tickets can be purchased on the Millbrook Winery website.
VIP packages include a meet and greet with Williams and access to an open wine bar. The event promises to be a memorable evening of music and community support.
