Season Finale Brunch at Alpha Omega

Alpha Omega’s annual barbeque brunch has become a favorite tradition at Festival Napa Valley.

Robin and Michelle Baggett, consummate hosts, embody a warm and heartfelt approach to appreciating the finer things in life. They effortlessly make visitors to their modern-ranch style Rutherford estate feel like family.

Today they invite guests to enjoy a relaxed afternoon of food, wine, and music. Robin will be manning the grill and masterfully roasting a whole hog for this unforgettable lunch, replete with Alpha Omega’s phenomenal wines.

Celebrated pianist and 2022 Classical Woman of the Year Lara Downes is joined by a quintet exploring music from her new chart-topping album Reflections: Scott Joplin Reconsidered.  Revered as The King of Ragtime, Joplin was in fact much more – an innovator who merged traditions and histories to make music at the crossroads of the American future.
