What distinguishes the Jazz Festival at the Hospitalet from other summer musical events is its global concept that transforms each evening into a real immersive experience. The all-inclusive formula (from € 295 per person) includes:

1. A gala dinner in the castle park, where chef Laurent Chabert and his brigade prepare exceptional menus served at the table
2. A concert in the intimacy of the castle courtyard, at nightfall
3. An after which extends to the end of the night side vines, on a second scene

This perfect alliance between gastronomy, oenology and quality music celebrates the art of Mediterranean living in all its splendor, in the heart of a wine -growing area cultivated in biodynamics between sea and garrigue.
