Thank you to everyone who came out to support Walden Family Services at Wine D’Vine!
WINE D‘VINE IS RANCH & COAST’S 2018 BEST ANNUAL GALA!
WINE D’VINE 2018 HEADLINER IS ANNOUNCED — THE MOODY BLUES!
2018 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Moody Blues will perform at Wine D’Vine, an exclusive concert to benefit Walden Family Services’ programs for foster youth and children on November 2, 2018, at the Hyatt Regency in La Jolla, California.
Concert-goers will experience an intimate evening with The Moody Blues as they perform to a limited number of guests. The iconic English band is a pioneer of symphonic rock and has sold more than 70 million albums worldwide since 1964, including 18 multi-platinum and gold albums. According to Rolling Stone, “The Moody Blues are still the Sistine Chapel of popular music.”
“We’re so excited to have The Moody Blues play for us,” said Walden CEO Teresa Stivers. “I’ve been thinking about the lyrics of their song ‘Question’ and they really resonate with what we’re trying to do for our kids: ‘I’m looking for someone to change my life. I’m looking for a miracle in my life.’ Wine D’Vine is going to give these kids that miracle.”

For 15 years, Wine D’Vine has been Walden Family Services’ signature event, raising unrestricted funds to support children, youth and families with foster care, adoption, and transitional housing programs and services. We place special emphasis on supporting children who are medically fragile and those with special needs.
The evening features fine wine from California’s leading vineyards, delicious gourmet cuisine, and live entertainment. The evening will begin at 6:00 PM with a champagne reception, followed by a 3-course dinner, live auction and exclusive concert.
