Save your money and time…I bought a ticket for $12 through living social and attended the event…worst $12 I’ve ever spent. No food besides microscopic bits if sausage on toothpicks. 4 wine vendors showed up and a few were out of wine…on the first day…lol. And there was absolutely noI crowd…worst ever.
Agreed with commenter above. We actually paid gate prices on Saturday and they were already out of glasses and wine bags. There was hardly any food and the wine was served in tiny sips. Besides the extremely high admission price we actually drove an hour to get there. Oh, and there was a little thing for kids to crawl in and though and the operators wanted to charge $5 per child for two turns to go through that thing (which was probably a 30 seconds affair). Crazy!
Terrible. Would have thought that Living Social would have been a bit more picky representing this one. There was nothing to do for the kids, had to buy them water, they discrimiunated against the living social ticketholders and didn’t even smile at the ones who were stupid enought to purchase tickets at the door.
Arrogant, slow, inept organizers and staff members. A complete watse of time money and gas.
Felt like I was going through a gauntlet with all the “service oriented booths” trying to get us to buy things like vinal siding, windows or some crap like that. Even had a bank there I think Surprised no Jahovas witnesses though.
The only benefit to this In my opinion was the scam the public. It will be the last thime they ever get my $$ again.
I only hope the family(s) we spoke to on the way out, who asked our advice listened to us and went to plan B
Everyone involved her should be ASHAMED of themselves.

I agree with all above, complete waste of time and disappointment! I was so embarrassed to bring my friends from Orlando who were visiting, on top of that we paid $80 each with ticket and metro north train ticket! Where do I go to get my money back?
I had a great time. I paid $12.00 through Living Social, and I got great entertainment all day long. I also entered at the Jamaica Tourist Board booth and hopefully will win the three night Ocean View stay at Round HIll Hotel & Villas, Montego Bay, Jamaica. Even samples the food from Golden Krust and samples the six vineyards who came. I have paid $50.00 for just a concert with none of these amenities. Food was not part of the deal! My friend also got a case of Jamaican cigars, because we were totally nice!
They removed all bad feedback from their Facebook page. Cowards?
