In Transit Blog: In Napa, Film Stock Meets Grape Stock

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 18 Oktober 2012 | 17.35

Though California's most famous asset may be its global film industry, it is also recognized for two other exports: food and wine. The Napa Valley Film Festival aligns itself with all three by kicking off its second annual five-day festival on Nov. 7 in the heart of California's vineyards.

In addition to viewing 100 independent films, festivalgoers who buy a day pass will also gain access to culinary discussions, a range of movie-inspired dishes and cocktails created by area restaurants and wine pavilions that offer a rotating stock of 20 international wines each day. More expensive passes offer perks including dinners cooked by notable Napa Valley chefs, access to celebrity tributes and red carpet premieres, along with a steady supply of prescreen pourings.

One of the festival's highlight events centers on the premiere of the documentary film "SOMM," which follows four sommeliers as they prepare for the Master Sommelier exam — a test so difficult fewer than 200 people have passed since 1969. The first 200 people who buy festival passes and a four-night stay at a participating hotel will also receive a ticket to the film's premiere and a chance to discuss it later with the cast and director at an after party hosted by The Shops at Napa Center. Thirty Master Sommeliers will also attend. Critique the wine, cautiously.


This post has been revised to reflect the following correction:

Correction: October 17, 2012

A previous version of this article incorrectly described one of the festival's promotions. The first 200 pass-holders who buy a four-night stay at one of the festival's participating hotels will also be able to attend the "SOMM" film premiere and after party at the Shops at Napa Center on Nov. 7, not the festival gala at the Robert Mondavi Winery the next day. The gala is open to all guests who attend the festival.
