4th Annual Mad Jazz and Wine Festival

We’re thrilled to invite you to the 4th Annual Mad Jazz and Wine Festival, happening Saturday, September 6, 2025, at the stunning Prince Michel Vineyard and Winery in Leon, Virginia.

This isn’t just another music festival — it’s a one-of-a-kind celebration of jazz, Virginia wine, community, and giving back. Set against the backdrop of rolling vineyard hills and award-winning wines, the Mad Jazz Festival is your ticket to a truly unforgettable day.

A World-Class Jazz Lineup
This year’s lineup is our most exciting yet! We’re bringing to the stage:
*The Baylor Project – 8X GRAMMY NOMINEE and NAACP IMAGE Award Winner, including a 2025 nomination for Best Jazz Performance
*Jocelyn Gould
*Champian Fulton
*Olivia Chindamo
*Carmen Bradford – 2024 GRAMMY Award winner
*Kevin Jackson
*Alicyn Yaffee
*Cecil and Ari Alexander
*Jen Tal – Charlottesville’s very own rising jazz star
Each performance brings a unique voice and style to the festival, creating a moving soundtrack for a day filled with connection, culture, and celebration.

Wine, Food, and Something Special
This year, we’re proud to debut "Shuffle", an exclusive wine crafted in partnership with jazz legend Bernard "Pretty" Purdie — right here at Prince Michel Vineyard. Named after his iconic drumbeat, "Shuffle" is more than a wine — it’s a tribute to rhythm, soul, and the timeless connection between music and flavor.

Enjoy a curated selection of local wines, craft beverages, and delicious bites from regional food trucks as you explore the vineyard and groove to live performances throughout the day.

Giving Back to the Community
What truly sets the Mad Jazz Festival apart is its mission. A portion of proceeds from every ticket sold supports the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, helping fight food insecurity right here in Central Virginia. So while you're sipping wine and enjoying jazz, you're also making a meaningful difference in someone’s life.
