Last year's 5th Annual Wine and Jazz Festival was held in beautiful Laishley Park, downtown Punta Gorda on Saturday Feb 20th 2010. In previous years we have brought you jazz legends Spyro Gyro, Ramsey Lewis and the Rippingtons featuring Russ Freeman. 2009 added to our list of international talent Mindi Abair. Accompanying Mindi Abair was local jazz band Max McCann and the Displacements.

This was a great day of excellent food, drink and entertainment in one of the most beautiful settings in the area. Local restaurants offer samplings of their fare, wine distributors poured wine from around the world and the PG Chamber brings you some of the best jazz entertainment available!

For the February, 2010 Wine & Jazz Festival, Mindi Abair returned for an encore performance. But this year, she was joined as co-headliner by Peter White, one of the world's most amazing jazz guitarists - direct from London, UK!

Photos of the event are now posted in our photo gallery.
