WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
‘Ancient Myths and Vineyard
Light’ Photography Exhibit
to Open at Mumm Napa®
New Exhibit Runs March 10 - October 14 in Napa Valley
A new exhibit, opening March 10 at Mumm Napa’s Fine Art
Photography Gallery, comes to life with a stunning exploration of
photographs of ancient African myths and photographer Janis
Miglavs’ vineyard-related work. The exhibit is titled “Ancient Myths
and Vineyard Light” and will be open to the public at Mumm Napa
winery in Rutherford through October 14.
The African Myths and Vineyard Light photography exhibit will
include color photographs of world-class vineyards and photo-illustrations
that narrate some of Africa’s “undiscovered myths.” Miglavs’
fine art photographs show some of the world’s best vineyards in a visually
stimulating way, with dramatic pops of color and intense lighting
and shadows. Said to be the only person to have recorded such information,
his photo-illustrations of African myths were inspired by his
travels to African villages, where he learned of local legends and archetypal
dreams from village shamans, witchdoctors and storytellers.
Miglavs has been teaching and studying photography for many years
and has continued to pursue his interest in wine professionally. His
work will be available for purchase at the exhibit.
The Ancient Myths and Vineyard Light exhibit opens with a
sparkling wine reception at Mumm Napa on March 10 from 6:30-
8:30 p.m. The reception and exhibit are open to the public. There is
no charge to view the exhibit or attend the reception. Mumm Napa
Winery is located at 8445 Silverado Trail, Rutherford. The visitor
center and fine art photography gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
daily. For additional information on visiting the winery and its
exhibits, call (707) 967-7700 or access the Mumm Napa website at
