There are tent campers and grass.

For those that can't get into a Cave B tasting, I will gladly hold a wine tasting at my tent. Featuring the following:

Cupcake Rosé
Josh Sauvignon Blanc
Bogle Petite Sirah
Franzia Cabernet Sauvignon

Lunchable charcuterie boards will also be provided.

there are tent campers, and grass.

I will say though that over the years, it has turned into a much more RV lot that initially. still tons of tents though.

I've done it, extremely hungover. I'm not a wine person but my group is so i tagged along.

killer views, great vibe with a large open lawn space. have live music playing on the stage.

2016 was the best . Hope that was #1

[madpiker]

ranking gorge weekends is kinda lame though. they're all amazing in their own way and for all different reasons.

except 2016, that's still #1

[Kitsym]

2016 setlist wise you do get the best of the best all weekend. That night 1 Jane through Don't Drink is a fantastic run.

Was it cold and rain? I assume it doesn't rain often there during that part of the year.

What's everyone's favorite seat sections at the Gorge? Any to look out for?

IMO if possible you should aim for seats in center sections (102, 202-204). The sections on the outside of the stage go WAY out, so keep an eye on the seat numbers if you are going to be buying those seats because you really don't want to be on the end of those sections (the view is awful).

[seanbrutus]

How's the front row of sec 203? There were some seats smack dab in the middle that looked appealing.

Thank you. Any advice on the front row of 203?

[madpiker]

for those that were considering "EASY CAMPING". I just saw that they have moved the location. It is no longer part of the main campgrounds, and it's a cut out portion of gold. very very close to gates. interesting..

Cold and windy!!

If I remember correctly they cut the set short due to the light rig blowing around

Or maybe that was a diff year

Man that's too bad to hear. Thanks though I appreciate the info!

[seanbrutus]

If anybody else has experience in the front rows of the 200's sections, I'd love to hear it.

Oh wow that is crazy. And if I have read correctly there is now a curtain behind the stage correct?
