One of the Bay Area Wine Country's hottest cultural events returned on November 1-4, offering guests an intimate weekend filled with pairings of exquisite music from the hottest live acts, and culinary and wine events with some of the biggest names in the industry.

In true LITV fashion, co-founders Claire Parr and Bobbii Jacobs brought some of the biggest names in music to perform at the festival including multi-platinum selling artists Alanis Morissette and Gavin DeGraw, as well as American Idol alums Adam Lambert and Casey Abrams, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, A Rocket To The Moon, Delta Rae, Hedley, Martin Harley, The Dunwells, LP, and British rising star Paloma Faith.

The Live in the Vineyard festival took place in the legendary Napa Valley and included events with celebrity chef Michael Chiarello on the lawns outside his celebrated restaurant Bottega Ristorante; an event at Morimoto, one of Napa's buzziest places and the flagship of Iron Chef star Masaharu Morimoto's burgeoning foodie empire; a competition judged by and held at chef Todd Humphries’ restaurant The Kitchen Door; a tasting and luncheon at the prestigious Napa Valley restaurant Brix catered by executive chef Chris Jones; and even included tastings and travel by the Napa Valley Wine Train!

Live In The Vineyard also partnered with Electus’ new food-centric YouTube channel HUNGRY, Whole Foods, and the Trinchero Family Estates and Sutter Home to host events.
