California sponsors events combining wine and the Oscars

As the Oscars draw near, wine and film lovers can attend Oscar parties and film festivals in California wine country.

Napa Valley hosts its 26th Annual Napa Valley Academy Awards® Telecast Viewing Party on Sunday, March 2, beginning at 5PM. You can also gear up for the Oscars on March 1 at The World of Pinot Noir “Hollywood & Wine Seminar.”

When you think of wine and movies, perhaps the film,Sideways, comes to mind. The Sideways Wine Tour Map follows the path forged by Miles and Jack in this beloved movie.

Francis Ford Coppola shot vistas throughout Napa Valley for Apocalypse Now, but he keeps vast movie memorabilia from that and other films at his renowned Francis Ford Coppola Winery in Sonoma County. Sip a glass of wine as you marvel at Don Corleone’s desk from The Godfather, the original car used in Tucker: The Man and His Dream, and even a few shiny gold men named Oscar. You can also check out Academy-Award winning costumes from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and the Neon Cocktail glass and bar from movie-musical, One from the Heart.
