Festival Napa Valley concluded its 2025 season on a high note, raising a record-setting $5 million at the annual Arts for All Gala. The star-studded evening featured a moving headline performance by Jon Batiste, a beautifully curated dinner by Chef Rogelio Garcia, and an exhilarating live auction offering rare wines and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Chaired by Leslie Frank, Festival Board Member and Co-Founder of Frank Family Vineyards, the gala brought together artists, vintners, and philanthropists in support of arts education, youth programming, and expanded access to live music across Napa Valley and beyond.
Throughout the week, Frank Family Vineyards infused the Festival with warmth, generosity, and a touch of Disney magic. As longtime supporters, Leslie and Rich Frank played a pivotal role in the success of this milestone season. Their enduring commitment to the arts, education, and community continues to fuel the Festival’s growth and impact.
Adding to the week’s enchantment, Frank Family hosted a memorable Disney-themed patron dinner at our Calistoga estate—a heartfelt nod to Rich’s legacy as former President of Disney Studios. The evening was filled with nostalgic charm, imaginative décor, and even a fun appearance by Mickey and Minnie Mouse themselves.
This one-of-a-kind dinner brought a sense of joy and playfulness to the Festival calendar, offering guests a truly immersive way to celebrate the arts—while also showcasing Frank Family’s signature hospitality and creative flair.
Frank Family is known not only for crafting exceptional wines but also for its deep-rooted philanthropic spirit. Through our ongoing partnership with Festival Napa Valley, our winery has helped support free public concerts and performances, provide scholarships for emerging musicians, and fund arts education programs throughout Napa County schools.
