Photograph: Adam McCullochThe word “jazz” when used next to the word “festival” often misleads. Here, there was gospel (the superb Blind Boys of Alabama) a deafening act involving hippies thrashing electrified banjos and an American couple had discussed whether the festival has got too big The village stood up to the numbers well and the variety of venues food stalls and bars absorbed everybody comfortably The water’s edge makes a great spot for a drink and some food.Enthusiastic audiences from far and wide flock to the village for the gigs. Rather like at the UK’s much larger Love Supreme festival they were of all ages with similar numbers of women and men Very few stroked their chins and said “Nice.” I joined a revolving cast of horn players soloing over funk grooves laid down with esprit by the young house band on most nights of the festival The vineyards benefit from sunlight reflecting off the lake. Photograph: Adam McCullochCully itself is a winemaking village on the south-facing shores of the lake, at the foot of tumbling terraces of 1,000-year-old vineyards – the Lavaux Unesco world heritage site creeping across the facades of older buildings Almost every nook and cranny is used for grapes a consequence of the steep valley wall putting space at a premium The festival’s history is entwined with the vines: its early incarnations in the 1980s used wine cellars for gigs and audiences sauntered from venue to venue with a glass of the local white in hand Few festivals can boast settings as glorious. In the late afternoon, festivalgoers sit by the waterfront and enjoy street food while contemplating the view across the serene lake into France, which sometimes seems close enough to touch and at others blurs with the mauve dusk sky, melding to gold towards the setting sun. Even noisy neighbour the Montreux Jazz Festival (similarly eclectic but no relation) held in July at the eastern end of the lake The jazz purists might have given her trio a miss but few could deny her strong identity and sheer talent Next morning I joined a guided tour of the patchwork of terraced vineyards all linked by meandering stone lanes and steps The vineyards take up 700 hectares between Lausanne and Montreux so there’s plenty of scope for a major roam The fantastic vista from these sunny slopes was the star but closer at hand colourful flowers billowed from the ancient gneiss and sandstone walls splashes of grape hyacinths painted pools of vivid purple Crowds gather for the evening’s gigs.Our two-hour stroll took in traditional Epesses village – a miniature Cully It felt almost under siege from the encroaching vines Some of the inhabitants came from the 150 or so families who have been making wine here for around 20 generations After descending back into Cully we stopped off for a swig of the local quaff in a courtyard belonging to the Potterat family a centuries-old wine press sat incongruously in front of a stage set up for a jazz quartet The white wines are made from the chasselas grape which has been grown here for hundreds of years – although the variety cultivated here originally Epesses village Photograph: Adam McCullochAfter a late set at Caveau I reflected on one of the highlights of the trip Three golden eagles (an adult and two eaglets) spiralled on a thermal Tickets from £31-50 for paid events; passes for all gigs over the festival £390; “Off-Festival’ gigs free (open air change at Lausanne (from about £25 one way)
