“Don’t worry about a thing, ’cause every little thing gonna be alright.” Bob Marley sang those words and the whole world exhaled. Reggae has always carried that gift — born in Kingston, Jamaica in the late 1960s, it rose from something raw and rebellious into a music that simply made people feel better. By the 1970s it had swept across Britain, America, and Africa, with Marley, Peter Tosh, and Jimmy Cliff carrying it to the world. It was joyful, it was soulful, and it was impossible to resist. This June, those rhythms roll into the Tehachapi Mountains.
On June 13, 2026, Tehachapi Winery is hosting the Wine & Reggae Mini Music Festival — and if you’ve never spent a summer afternoon swaying to live reggae with a glass of wine in your hand and the Tehachapi hills all around you, this is your moment. Multiple live bands take the stage throughout the day, setting a groove that invites you to let your shoulders drop and your worries follow.
Between sets, wander through local vendors offering Rasta-inspired goods, handcrafted finds, and homemade treats. An authentic Jamaican food truck joins a full lineup of options, bringing genuine island flavor to the mountain air. The winery’s own selections pour alongside cold beer — something for every taste, every mood.
This is the kind of event that reminds you why summer exists. Not a concert to stand and watch, but a day to live in — music weaving through conversation, food worth slowing down for, strangers becoming neighbors over a shared good time.
Tickets are available at tehachapiwinery.com. Put June 13 on your calendar and plan to stay a while.
