California Dreaming

In “California Dreaming,” Thomas Arvid captures the romance of California wine country, where legendary vineyards and unforgettable bottles come together around the table. Featuring three iconic California wineries, it invites us to dream of a return to wine country and the friends, stories, and celebrations found there.

Painted during the pandemic, “California Dreaming” captures Arvid’s yearning for Napa, a placethat feels like a second home. With many close friends among the region’s winemakers, he imagined the day he could once again sit across from them, sharing a glass and a story. Until then, the painting became his way of keeping those friendships, and that dream close.
