The story

Jazz and Wine Kakheti in Tsinandali

Held each September at the historic Tsinandali estate, home of the Chavchavadze family, Jazz and Wine Kakheti pairs international jazz performances with tastings from more than a dozen Kakhetian wineries and dishes from visiting chefs. Founded in 2017 by Eastern Promotions, it lets visitors join hands-on grape picking and pressing alongside the music.

Jazz and Wine Kakheti stages its concerts on the grounds of the Tsinandali estate, the nineteenth-century home of the Chavchavadze family, a name inseparable from the history of Georgian winemaking and literature alike.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The option to join hands-on grape picking and pressing directly alongside live jazz performances is a genuinely unusual pairing, turning a concert-and-tasting event into a working harvest experience rarely offered at other jazz or wine festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Staged on the historic Tsinandali estate, the nineteenth-century home of the Chavchavadze family, the festival benefits from a wine-growing and literary heritage site as its backdrop rather than a purpose-built festival ground, while its organizer, Eastern Promotions, also curates Georgia's Tbilisi International Jazz Festival and Black Sea International Jazz Festival, placing it within a specific, professionally run national jazz festival circuit
