SMOOTH Cuban jazz will be wafting through the vineyards at Rochford Wines once again next month, as an annual festival returns to the valley.
The Cuban Jazz Festival will open at 11am on Sunday 26 October at Rochford, with four stages filled with music and an event looking to be bigger than ever.
Jam Xpress, famous for their track I Love You So, will be the headline act at the event, which will feature DJs, live jazz, Latin house music and live dancers playing until 6pm.
An array of food and wine will be on offer to visitors, and jazz and salsa dancing lessons will also be available on the day.
Two ticket options are available for the Cuban Jazz Festival – the standard, $70 winery ticket, which provides entry, lunch and a glass of wine, and the Club Cuba VIP restaurant upgrade, which features a wine and cheese tasting, spit pig lunch, a private bar and bathrooms and a glass of sangria.
A $110 Wine Quest bus ticket features the basic winery ticket features, as well as coach transfers to and from Rochford from Melbourne – the return journey features entry to an after-party at Bond Bar in the city.
