Festival Napa Valley – California, USA

New Worlds – a fascinating encounter between great music and great literature – there’s much to whet the appetite at this year’s festival. Transforming California’s wine country into a cultural destination, it’s held over 10 days at some 100 wineries, with more than 60 events, and culminates with Arts for All Gala, a fundraising dinner and live auction benefitting the festival and its arts-education programmes, held this year at HALL Winery in St. Helena. www.festivalnapavalley.org
