Festival Napa Valley, formerly Festival del Sole, has put Napa Valley on the map as a leading cultural destination. The annual summer festival blends the world’s finest classical, jazz, opera, theater and dance artists with culinary, wine and fitness pursuits, staged in Napa Valley’s most iconic settings. Dedicated to enriching the region’s cultural vitality and to supporting arts education, the festival nurtures young talent through the Bouchaine Young Artist Series, presents free community concerts, and awards grants to local schools and arts organizations. More than 200 wineries, hotels, resorts, theaters, restaurants and vintners take part in the event annually.
