All concerts, of the highest quality, will be offered live not only in theatres, but also in clubs, wine shops, wineries, to taste the excellent typicalities of Italian and Slovene Collio, to discover fine wines and good food.

To accommodate the fans of the event from all over Europe there will be the Municipal Theatre of Cormòns, which will host the shows highlight. But live music will be protagonist also at the the Kulturni Dom of Nova Gorica and Gorizia and in the ancient wineries, wine bars and clubs that will host the concerts. A trip in the notes and colours of jazz music will accompany the fans of the festival at different times of the day, mating with always different flavours and spaces.

It will be a perfect match of jazz music and wine, thanks to the collaboration of the companies belonging to the circuit of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Wine Tourism Movement: from Azienda Agricola Borgo San Daniele to Tenuta Angoris, from Tenuta Villanova to Cantina Renato Keber, from Azienda Agricola Gradnik to the wine store of Cormòns. In addition to musical events there will be areas dedicated to other forms of art, with exhibitions dedicated.

Even this year the program of the festival is rich and diverse, it focuses on quality and style, straying from classic jazz avant–garde, in a tangle of unusual contamination.

It is also renewed for the ninth consecutive year in collaboration with RAI Radio 3, which from 2005 to last year sent into space the evening space "Radio 3 Suite Jazz" about 25 concerts of Jazz & Wine of Peace.

The twinning "Jazz & Wine of Peace Festival" continues also this year with some of the most important Jazz&Wine of Italy festivals: Zola Jazz&Wine (www.zolajazzwine.it) and Montalcino Jazz&Wine (www.castelloban fi.it). For the three events the twinning is an opportunity to confront new territory and productive realities, but also an opportunity for cultural enrichment for all those who have decided to take up this challenge.
