A "sister festival" of the prestigious Aspen Snowmass Festival, Sonoma Jazz+ is a four-day, Memorial Day weekend celebration of world class music, food and wine steeped in the relaxing ambiance of California wine country. 

Set against the backdrop and charm of historic Sonoma's central plaza, the pedestrian-friendly festival features evening concerts in a spectacular 3,800-seat tent at the Field of Dreams, just two blocks from the town's central plaza.

Several other venues in downtown Sonoma will be joining in the music, including the Ledson and Swiss hotels, the Red Grape, Murphy's Irish Pub, Meritage, and more.

The inclusion of wine country's most celebrated chefs and vintners helps set Sonoma Jazz+ apart from all other festivals in the US.
