Jazz & Wine of Peace 2025

Discover Jazz & Wine of Peace 2025, from October 23 to 26: four days of world-class jazz, wine, and culture in the Collio between Italy and Slovenia.

From October 23 to 26, the Jazz & Wine of Peace Festival returns to fill the hills of the Friulian and Slovenian Collio with sound, transforming Cormons and its surroundings into a vibrant mosaic of music, art, and flavor.

Now in its 28th edition, Jazz & Wine of Peace renews its spirit of dialogue between cultures and peoples, joining this year the GO! 2025 – Nova Gorica-Gorizia European Capital of Culture project, with a rich programme of cross-border events.

Created by Circolo Controtempo, the festival continues its unique formula that blends contemporary jazz with local food and wine traditions. The lineup features major international artists such as Nubya Garcia, James Brandon Lewis, William Parker, Calibro 35, and The Necks, alongside some of the most compelling voices in the new female jazz scene, including Naïssam Jalal, Maria Chiara Argirò, and Rosa Brunello.

Over four days, the festival will present 29 events across four theatres (Cormons, Gorizia, Nova Gorica, and Gradisca) and 21 venues, including wineries, clubs, and historic residences. Seven “Jazz & Taste” concerts will combine live performances with tastings of local wines and delicacies.

The programme also includes urban performances by the Funkasin Street Band, DJ sets by Angie BackToMono and Andrea Passenger, a music workshop with Dan Kinzelman, a photo exhibition by Žiga Koritnik dedicated to Peter Brötzmann, and the podcast “Sikter”, telling the story of a Sarajevo band during the 1990s war.
