A donation of a portion of the ticket sales from the concert was the vineyard's way of giving back to the rural fire brigade which saved the property near Lake Cathie from bushfire.
The brigade volunteers' tireless efforts in October 2019 ensured the fire didn't cross the vineyard's boundary fences.
Long Point Vineyard sales, marketing and events manager Mel Leitch said the community really got behind the concert.
She said it was like a breath of fresh air for people to be able to enjoy some good music.
Lake Cathie Rural Fire Brigade members also helped out as volunteers, in capacities including parking and traffic control, during the day of the concert.
The sold out event on Saturday (March 13) was the vineyard's first concert in 2021.
The concert also featured the music of Pam Hata and Lily Papas.
