JAZZ in the Vineyards will shift almost a year to avoid a scheduling clash, Hope Estate has confirmed.
The event featuring Kate Ceberano and her band had been planned for December 7 but will now move to October next year.
"We hate to change the date of any event, however the clash has left us no other option," Michael Hope said.
"We had hoped to find a date a bit sooner, but on the back of Ms Ceberano's recent success on The Masked Singer her full touring schedule for the early months in 2020 is understandably full.
"We are so excited for her and looking forward to our October 2020 date which will be perfect for spring long lunching.
Ticketholders will automatically be transferred to the 2020 date, while those who would prefer a refund can email info@hopeestate.com.au
Mr Hope said ticketholders who planned to attend in October could expect "an upgrade or gift on us".
