Mustard Magic ~ The Grand Opening Event

Please join us for the Festival Grand Opening event on January 27!

Indulge in fantasy at Mustard Magic, the Festival’s opulent grand opening event, on Saturday, January 27 at The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in St. Helena.

Mustard Magic’s French themed splendor promises an evening magnifique, considered by many to be Napa Valley’s most creative, extravagant gathering of the year.

Paintings of French Masters come to life at Mustard Magic

The Culinary Institute of America’s three-story atrium, enormous barrel room, inspired teaching kitchens and intimate museum, all housed in the magnificent stone building that was once home to Christian Brothers Winery, set the stage for magic, surprises and music. Step into a world of fantasy and stroll through art filled candlelit spaces, enjoy sumptuous offerings of food and wine presented by Napa Valley chefs and winemakers, and take a turn on the Barrel Room dance floor.

Browse and purchase your favorite pieces at the Visual Art Competition Exhibit & Silent Auction.
