Spring Jazz Stroll

Wine ... jazz ... picnic in the park ... bare feet in the grass ... laying back on a blanket and stargazing ... could there be a better date night?


We had the wonderful opportunity to meet up with some friends for the Spring Jazz Stroll at Leu Gardens in Orlando. We even unexpectedly ran into a few fellow Mount Dorians ... which I'm not surprised since we are all known for loving wine and good music.

This event is every bit about culture and relaxation. People march through the gates pulling their red wagons full of food, blankets, camp chairs and toting coolers full of beverages while winding through the garden pathways illuminated with candles.

Gardenia's, jasmine and honey suckles perfumed the air and I noticed some jazz stroll veterans even went a little fancier bringing fold-up tables with linens and candelabras.


We parked our picnic on the grassy lawn by the lake next to the second house and munched on cheese, chocolates and wine while enjoying the smooth bluesy tunes of Beautiful Bobby Blackmon and Steve Moore & Moore than Jazz.
