Up in wine country, the Coppola family hosted the 37th annual Auction Napa Valley. The festivities included a barrel tasting and auction inside the winery caves at Inglenook and a spirited live auction at Meadowood Napa Valley. Over $15 million was raised to support local health communities and children’s education. “It was an honor for our family to chair this year’s Auction Napa Valley,” Roman Coppola said in a statement. “Napa Valley is our family’s home and we’re grateful for the generosity of our bidders, fellow vintners, partners and donors, local chefs, volunteers and every member of the community that comes together to make Auction Napa Valley a success year after year. The funds we raised this weekend will help strengthen families and make the seemingly impossible possible for tens of thousands of our neighbors.” Soul singer Leon Bridges performed at the main event and the meal, which was an Italian feast, was prepared by Francis Ford Coppola and a team of volunteer chefs.
