The lineup of Festival Napa Valley’s annual Taste of Napa has been announced. Festival Napa Valley’s signature celebration of exceptional food, wine, and music is set to take place on Saturday, July 13 from 12pm to 3pm on The Meritage Resort's Grand Reserve lawn. The event features offerings from more than 70 wineries, breweries, restaurants, and culinary artisans, plus live music, games, activities, and the chance to explore wines of the world through a special international showcase of wines from Great Britain and Italy.
“Taste of Napa attendees have the opportunity to sample many extraordinary culinary and wine offerings all in one place,” said Festival Napa Valley CEO Rick Walker. “The generosity and enduring commitment of our partner wineries, breweries, and culinary businesses make it all possible. Many have participated since the inaugural Taste of Napa 18 years ago. Their support is an essential ingredient in the ongoing success of this grand tasting event, helping to showcase the very best of Napa Valley and the world of wine.”
Taste of Napa attendees will also enjoy live musical entertainment. DJ Lady Ryan will spin vibrant beats and dance band Neon Velvet will perform songs from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, as well as contemporary hits and classics.
