Mustard Festival For 13 years now, the brilliance of mustard in Napa Valley has created a tourist attraction almost parallel to the Napa Valley Vineyards, Wine Making and Wine. The brilliant swaths of yellow are left over from days of the California Mission Trail when missionaries were thought to have sprinkled mustard seeds between missions to find their way in the spring growth after winter. Today the mustard festival includes art, wine, and food with the Napa Valley Mustard Festival culminating in the mustard photography contest photo finish at the Mumms Champagnery,

Clos Pegase Winery
Just down the road from the town of Calistoga, there is a crossroads. It's the intersection of wine and art. And at that crossroads, you'll find something rare and remarkable: balance. You'll find serious, passionate estate-grown winemaking balanced with an open-hearted spirit of sharing and celebration. You'll find great works of art living in harmony with the earthy simplicity of the soil and the vine. You'll find a majestic temple that's somehow both awe-inspiring and welcoming. Wine that offers both true varietal intensity and food-friendly approachability. You'll find a place that captures the spirit of Bacchus: equal parts divine and joyfully down-to-earth. Look for the crossroads, and there, you'll find Clos Pegase.
"We love visitors. And we invite you to experience firsthand how our unique combination of wine, art and architecture can make your visit to the wine country truly memorable."
