The evening concerts at last year’s Napa Valley Music Festival started at 6.30pm, a magical time when moist air coming up from San Pablo Bay was cooling off the day. The audience arrived early to mingle and choose their seats. The concerts took place on the grounds of the Charles Krug estate, the oldest winery in the valley, known for its Cabernet Sauvignon, where gracious hosts offered wine tastings and a look atperformers, patrons and donors took place at wineries spread out across the length of the 30-mile-long valley, which added romantic long drives to the soundtrack of memories the festival supplied.
