Join prominent Napa Valley vintners, chefs, and celebrities to launch the ninth annual mustard season at
Mustard Magic - Une Soirée Française at The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone on Saturday evening, February 2, at 7 p.m. Host Winemaker Eileen Crane of Domaine Carneros, Host Chef Bob Hurley, and Host Artist Charles O'Rear will be among those present to greet guests.
The magnificent stone building, once home to Christian Brothers Winery, sets the perfect stage for paintings by French masters brought
to life throughout an evening certain to evoke lingering impressions. A life sized reenactment of Guy Buffet's painting for the 2002 Mustard Festival will greet guests as they enter the three story atrium.

Sumptuous offerings of food and wine presented by Napa Valley chefs and winemakers will surprise strollers at every turn. The Barrel Room, transformed into the Moulin Rouge as if by magic, will attract the bawdy and bold who wish to indulge in decadent foods and luscious wines, and bid on works of art in the lively gallery and silent art auction. More Auction Information.

Ballerinas step lithely from the paintings of Degas
|
Ballet dancers will step lithely from the canvas of Monet to dance in the mezzanine, and the candlelit museum will become a cabaret. Just around the corner, enjoy traditional French music, where Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party comes to life and cabaret seating offers a brief respite. The Culinary Institute of America's famed teaching kitchen will host an extravagant buffet on the third floor.

Just across the landing, an event within the event will offer special tastings for auction goers, with table service for reserved auction seating, entertainment, and live and silent auction lots featuring special wines, wine country getaways, exotic trips, winemaker dinners, and much more.
