What is 9ª Edição Jazz nas Adegas – “Jack & Laura”?
This event is part of the 9th edition of Jazz nas Adegas, a series that brings live jazz into Algarve wine estates. For this date, London guitarist Jack joins vocalist Laura, also known as Serena Kaos, for a special concert at Herdade Barranco do Vale near Silves.
Jack & Laura reinterpret well-known songs, blending classic pop melodies with a smooth jazz feel. The result is a concert-experience that feels both familiar and fresh, ideal if you enjoy recognisable tunes with a more sophisticated twist.
Why visitors and expats will enjoy this event
For tourists, digital nomads and expats looking for different things to do in the Algarve beyond the beaches, this concert offers a relaxed cultural evening in a scenic rural setting. The combination of live jazz, pop classics and a working wine estate creates a distinctly Algarve experience.
English-speaking visitors may feel especially at home with Jack’s London background and the international flavour of the music, while still enjoying a very local setting in the Silves countryside. It is a great way to connect with regional culture without needing to speak Portuguese.

- Couples looking for a romantic evening in the Algarve countryside
- Small groups of friends or colleagues

Practical information
Dates and opening times
This Jack & Laura concert within the 9ª Edição Jazz nas Adegas is scheduled for 6 March 2026. Exact start and finish times are not specified, but events of this kind usually take place in the late afternoon or evening. It is sensible to allow extra time to arrive, park and settle in before the performance begins.
How to get there
Silves is in the central Algarve, inland from the coastal resorts between Portimão and Albufeira. Herdade Barranco do Vale is located in the rural surroundings of Silves, among vineyards and countryside roads.
If you are driving from the main Algarve coastal towns, you will typically travel inland towards Silves and then follow local roads out to the estate. The area is best reached by car or taxi, as rural wine estates are not usually served directly by frequent public transport. Allow extra time for slower country roads and to find parking on site or nearby.
Visitors staying in popular Algarve bases such as Albufeira, Carvoeiro or Portimão can generally reach the Silves area within a reasonable drive, making this an easy evening trip from the coast.
Tips for making the most of your visit
- Arrive a little early: Give yourself time to find the estate, park, and enjoy the surroundings before the music starts.
- Dress comfortably: Smart-casual clothing works well for a relaxed jazz evening in a countryside setting; bring an extra layer as rural nights can feel cooler.
- Plan your transport: If you are not familiar with country roads, check your route in advance and consider sharing a taxi or car with friends.
- Combine with a visit to Silves: If you have time, explore the historic town of Silves earlier in the day, then head out to Herdade Barranco do Vale for the concert.
- Bring some cash: While card payments are increasingly common in the Algarve, having some cash on hand can be useful for small on-site purchases if available.
Whether you live in the Algarve or are visiting for a short stay, the 9ª Edição Jazz nas Adegas – “Jack & Laura” concert is a memorable way to experience live music in an authentic countryside setting near Silves.
