Your Invitation

The Napa Valley Mustard Festival celebrates its sixteenth season of sensational events in the year 2009. This two month season, during which fields, vineyards, and hillsides are vibrant with wild mustard in bloom, celebrates the rich, unique agricultural and cultural bounty of Napa Valley and YOU ARE INVITED!

The Mustard Season offers a full palette of food, wine, art, entertainment, and cultural activities staged throughout the world-famous grape growing region from Saturday, January 31, through Saturday, March 28. Mustard the condiment shares center stage with mustard in bloom throughout the season - appearing at events and in mustard recipes, from entrées to desserts.

Indulge in art, music, and exquisite foods and wines at Mustard Magic, the opulent grand opening event, at The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in St. Helena on Saturday, January 31; and wrap up the season at The Mumm Napa Photo Finish at Mumm Napa in Rutherford on Saturday, March 28.

Don a costume or your finest black tie attire for Mustard Magic where dramatic tableaux vivants of works by European masters will celebrate the fine art of food and wine, while entertainment at its finest complements the living art and tantalizing tastes from the region's finest restaurants and wineries. Raise your paddle high at the live auction to win fantastic winemaker dinners, luxurious trips, art, wine and more!
