Festival Napa Valley Olivia Decker Power of Music Presented Vitamin String Quartet at Four Seasons

A festive afternoon of music, wine, and good cheer took place at Four Seasons Resort & Residences Napa Valley on April 27 as Festival Napa Valley presented the renowned Vitamin String Quartet as part of the Olivia Decker Power of Music Series.

The event kicked off with a reception at Elusa, the boutique winery nestled within the picturesque Napa Valley resort surrounded by vineyards, heritage oaks, and majestic mountains. Guests were welcomed with Elusa’s estate-crafted, small lot wines, including Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon, and Calistoga Petite Sirah.

The wines beautifully showcased the distinctive character of the Calistoga terroir and paired perfectly with seasonal hors d’oeuvres prepared by Four Seasons’ culinary team.

Following the reception, guests moved to the resort’s modern, light-filled ballroom for the performance. Best known for their Bridgerton and Westworld soundtracks, Vitamin String Quartet has earned global acclaim for reimagining pop hits for classical strings. Their heartfelt renditions have earned over 2 billion streams, 4 million downloads, and 1 million physical sales, with seven Billboard-charting albums.

Their music has appeared in Westworld, Shameless, Modern Family, and more. Based in Los Angeles, VSQ’s rotating cast of musicians continues to create and collaborate, providing the perfect soundtrack for any moment. This exclusive concert setlist included Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” and Radiohead’s “Creep.” A debut of their arrangement of Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga’s “Die with a Smile” drew satisfied laughter and head nods, while the encore, a brilliant rendition of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” —complete with an audience sing-along—brought the room to its feet with delight.

Among those enjoying the relaxed-yet-refined affair were Olivia Decker, Denise Adams, Veronica and Chris Ashworth, Shannon Gravette and Rurik Best, Kathleen McIntosh and Michael Covarrubias, Stephanie Chung, Jane and Bert Inch, Mary Beth Shimmon, Tatiana and Serge Sorokko, Janet and Franco Wong, Debbie and Mike Zeiden, Fariba and Iraj Zolnasr, Opus One’s Christopher Barefoot with John Henry Martin, Pomellato’s Nathalie Diamantis with Scott Rosen, Elusa Winery’s Rachel Stellareese Davies, and Four Seasons Napa Valley’s Scott Gubrud.

The idyllic spring occasion in an unforgettable setting gave guests a reason to raise a glass to music and wine’s unique ability to uplift and inspire.
