Festival Napa Valley marked its 20th anniversary with a record-breaking Arts for All Gala on Sunday, July 12, raising an unprecedented $6.5 million to support its year-round education, scholarship, and community initiatives. Held at Nickel & Nickel, part of Far Niente Wine Estates, the Gala brought together philanthropists, artists, vintners, and civic leaders in a joyful celebration of music, generosity, and shared purpose.

With its 2026 season underway, California’s Festival Napa Valley is presenting VC Artists Hina & Fiona this weekend in two significant world premieres. The first on July 11 will be John Corigliano’s The Red Violin: Suite for Two Violins and Orchestra. 

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Festival Napa Valley proved again that the vineyards are a fertile ground for both vintages and fresh artistic talent. After a day that began with a music and wellness seminar led by soprano Reneé Fleming, and a display of classic cars, it was time for the orchestra to take over at Uytengsu Family Opening Night on Friday, July 10.
