Jazz on the Vines is the theme once again this year for the Long Island Winterfest from February 9 to March 17. You can enjoy six great weekends of live jazz music performed right in the exquisite winery tasting rooms of the area. This is an excellent way to enjoy and explore the Long Island wine region while enjoying some hot jazz and breaking the mid-winter doldrums all in one swoop.
This is the sixth annual event of this kind, and the crowds get bigger and bigger each year. Nearly two dozen of the area’s best wineries take part in this event. For a full listing of wineries and the performance schedules, check the event website.
