Four Lanterns Winery's Summer Concert Series Blends Music, Wine, and Community Giving

Published 12 hours ago4 minute read

— This summer, Four Lanterns Winery invites the community to enjoy warm evenings, live music, and award-winning wine — all in the name of giving back. Nestled in the heart of Paso Robles wine country, the picturesque family-owned estate will host its popular Summer Concert Series every Sunday through August. But this year, owners Steve and Jackie Gleason are adding a generous twist: 10% of all wine sales from each concert will be donated to two local nonprofits making a difference — El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO) and Hope with I.A.N.

Set against the backdrop of oak-lined vineyards and golden sunsets, the concerts offer a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere where guests can enjoy local and regional bands, food truck fare, and beautifully crafted estate wines. Tables are available on the veranda or beneath the trees, and attendees are welcome to bring lawn chairs, picnic blankets, children, and even leashed dogs.

“We wanted to create something that felt good in every way,” said Jackie Gleason. “Not just great wine and music, but something that brought people together to support causes that matter. ECHO and Hope with I.A.N. are doing incredible work in our community, and we’re proud to support them.”

The support from Four Lanterns will go a long way for both organizations. ECHO, which operates shelters in both Atascadero and Paso Robles, provides food, shelter, case management, and housing-focused services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in San Luis Obispo County. Already in 2025, ECHO has helped 234 individuals and families move from homelessness into stable housing.

“Every glass of wine poured during these concerts helps us continue our mission,” said Wendy Lewis, CEO of ECHO. “This partnership with Four Lanterns is a beautiful example of how local businesses and nonprofits can work together to create real, lasting change for people in need.”

Also benefiting from the concert series is Hope with I.A.N., a grassroots nonprofit founded in memory of Ian Strain, a vibrant and empathetic young man who lost his life to mental illness in 2023. Today, the organization works to break the stigma surrounding mental health and provide access to education, support, and hope for individuals and families navigating mental health challenges.

The Four Lanterns Summer Concert Series runs every Sunday from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM through August 31st. Tickets are just $15 for adults and free for wine club members and industry friends. Each concert promises an unforgettable evening filled with live music, great food, community spirit, and the chance to give back with every sip.
