Wine and Jazz in Provence
by William T Manfull
La Londe Jazz Festival 2017
What is the perfect musical pairing for the wines of Provence and southern Rhône? Jazz! There are terrific jazz events held in and about wineries during the summer months throughout Provence and most include wine tasting as part of the festivities. Take a picnic, try the wine, and listen to some jazz–what could be better!
Below is a listing of wineries where you can hear a little jazz this summer; scroll down a little further and you will find an interactive map showing the location of each winery. As hard as I have tried to include all the wineries and their jazz offerings this summer, I would not be surprised if a few did not make it on my radar. Please let me know of any events that you hear about and I will update this list as I hear more. Be sure to confirm the details before you pack your picnic in case there are any schedule or venue changes!

Wine and jazz are indeed a wonderful pairing. Now tell me what food to add and one has a perfect appeal to the senses.
Whatever will fit into your picnic basket! I would choose charcuterie and cheese selection with several fresh baguettes!
The thought of a jazz picnic in the vineyards—just lovely.
Wish I were there to enjoy it!
Love pianist Jackie Terrason, and sad that we will arrive in Provence a couple of days after his gig in Sant Cannat.
Jerry, I did not know you were a jazz fan! Jackie Terrasson is a great musician and bridges our two favorite cultures as his mother is African American and his father French. Would like to hear him play anywhere but I think jazz is always better heard when surrounded by vines with a glass of wine in one’s hand!
Great post from a jazz aficionado. I made it to Chateau de Berne and a jazz picnic at Château Nestuby, here in Cotignac, this summer. Highly recommended. Will contribute a local Var list next year.

Fighting such a pathology should be done with the help of correction feeding and special procedures so that water does not stay tissues.
