WINE & JAZZ FESTIVAL

Unique as Missouri’s only weekend wine and jazz festival amongst the vineyards, regional artists combine previously untapped talent resulting in improvisational masterpieces. To witness these FREE shows are truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Travel safe and easy with Amtrak–four blocks from Hermann Amphitheater. Historically, the lodging sells out first so don’t wait to book. http://www.hermannjazz.com.
