The heartbeat of Missouri Wine Country lives here. The Augusta Wine & Jazz Festival is where world-class rhythm meets historic soil, celebrating the town that became America’s first wine region. More than a festival, it is a tribute to the stories and community that have called these river bluffs home for generations.

 

Your day begins with the soft pop of a cork and the warmth of a trumpet. Wander ten stages tucked into sun-drenched vineyards and historic storefronts, or find your rhythm at the 1869 Harmonie Verein—a music hall that has echoed with song for over 150 years. As the sun dips toward the Missouri River, the air fills with the sophisticated, soulful sounds of jazz.

 

We built this festival to unite the elegance of jazz with the tradition of the vine. We believe in preserving the "Missouri Rhineland" spirit and ensuring everyone has a chance to soak in the magic of a town where history still breathes. Whether you’re here for a new vintage, a headline set, or a jazz brunch aboard the Miss Augusta, welcome home. We’re glad you found your way.
