Festival del Sole takes place every summer in the Napa Valley. The Festival features concerts by some of the world’s most celebrated musical artists, five-star cuisine, opulent venues, art exhibits, and wines from Napa’s top vintners, all blended in a unique celebration of the art of life. On Wednesday, July 22nd 2009, Pride Mountain Vineyards was honored to participate in the Festival, playing host to thirty guests who enjoyed a spellbinding outdoor musical program by Duo Doori-Moa (violinist Michelle Lee & cellist Taeho Oh), a three course lunch prepared by Tra Vigne Chef Nash Cognetti, and a variety of wines presented by the entire Pride family and winemaker Sally Johnson. The afternoon concluded with a barrel tasting tour through the caves, led by owner Steve Pride, who offered guests a sneak preview of the upcoming 2008 Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
