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.
