The 3rd Annual Fork2Film Festival returns to St. Helena’s Cameo Cinema March 19–22, 2026, celebrating the powerful connection between food, wine, agriculture, and storytelling. Over four days, the festival brings together acclaimed filmmakers, chefs, vintners, and audiences for a curated lineup of narrative and documentary films paired with wine tastings, filmmaker Q&As, and special events.

This year’s festival opens with the World Premiere of The Swirled Cup, a new episodic series from Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson exploring how terroir—soil, climate, landscape, and human tradition—shapes the character of wine. The screening will be followed by an in-person Q&A.

A special highlight of the festival includes a 30th anniversary screening of Big Night, the beloved culinary classic, accompanied by Italian bites and wine for an immersive cinematic dining experience.

New this year, the festival kicks off with a spirited pre-opening celebration on March 18 featuring a screening of the 1988 Tom Cruise film Cocktail followed by a themed party with live music, seasonal fare, and craft cocktails from local partners.

Documentary standouts include Ali Eats America, following 17-year-old Ali Allouche’s cross-country culinary journey inspired by Anthony Bourdain, and Surgencia, a visually stunning exploration of Baja California’s food and wine landscape.

The popular Short Film Program returns with stories celebrating community, tradition, and culinary creativity—including Lisa Dahl: Blessed By Grace and You Belong Here—followed by a special Q&A featuring Chef Lisa Dahl, acclaimed Chef Ouita Michel, and other filmmakers.

Tickets are $20 per screening, with special event pricing for select experiences. All films screen at the Cameo Cinema.
