Music in the Vineyards at Domaine Carneros

Music in the Vineyards, now in its 29th season, is a nationally-acclaimed chamber music festival held each summer in the Napa Valley showcasing world-class artists performing in winery settings. Concerts feature witty commentary, wine tasting, and breathtaking views.

The Grammy Award-winning Catalyst Quartet, founded in 2010 by the internationally-acclaimed Sphinx Organization, has been a seismic force in promoting underrepresented classical musicians. Known for their “perfect ensemble unity” and “unequaled class of execution” (Lincoln Journal Star), Catalyst Quartet has toured widely throughout the United States and abroad.
