"Each November, just as harvest and the peak tourist season is winding down, the focus shifts from grapes and wine to the cinema as the Napa Valley Film Festival brings hundreds of filmmakers, actors, directors and documentarians to the valley. With screenings, galas, dinners and discussions in Napa, Yountville, St. Helena and Calistoga there is something for everyone — from the most serious film student to the casual moviegoer. And while the movies are not all about wine (very few, actually) the wine receptions are more than an afterthought."
