Napa Valley Dreams is a beautiful look into why so many of us love to call this valley home.
Tracee Oles Beebe, Saint Helena
This movie is brilliant and so well done, I’m going to see it again. Loved that it featured what I call “real people” vs. the usual bold face names. Camera, editing, music all fantastic.
I give it 5 stars!
