The story

West Virginia Wine and Jazz Festival in Morgantown

The West Virginia Wine and Jazz Festival gathers regional wineries, artisans, and live jazz performances at Morgantown's Ruby Amphitheater each September. Held over a weekend at Hazel Ruby McQuain Park along the Monongahela River, the nonprofit festival pairs wine tastings with soul and swing music, using proceeds to fund WVU-affiliated organizations and community programs across Morgantown.

The West Virginia Wine and Jazz Festival was founded as a nonprofit initiative to give Morgantown a signature fall event while directly supporting West Virginia University-affiliated organizations and the surrounding community.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's nonprofit structure sets it apart from typical wine festivals: rather than functioning purely as a commercial event, it has directed more than half a million dollars back into WVU-affiliated organizations and the broader Morgantown community over the years, giving attendees a direct sense that their ticket supports local institutions

02

The mystery stays covered

Its lineup deliberately spans jazz, soul, and swing rather than a single genre, giving the music programming a broader appeal than a narrowly defined jazz festival

03

The city starts moving

Featuring wineries from across West Virginia gives the state's small but growing wine industry a rare dedicated showcase

04

The water draws everyone in

The Ruby Amphitheater's riverside setting in Hazel Ruby McQuain Park adds a scenic, outdoor backdrop that has helped the festival grow into one of Morgantown's signature fall weekends
