Day 1
Check into Hotel
Welcome to Napa! Check into the only locally-owned luxury boutique hotel in historic downtown Napa, ideally situated in the Historic Napa Mill, a National Registered Landmark built in 1884. The Napa River Inn provides guests with gracious accommodations and friendly, personalized service in a unique two-and-a-half acre riverfront setting.
Gourmet Farm-to-Table Dinner at Bottega
In its first year, Bottega has garnered local and national critical acclaim. The restaurant has quickly become a coveted reservation for diners who want to experience the bounty of Napa Valley through Chef Michael Chiarello's bold yet refined Italian flavors. The menu highlights the bounty of artisanal and house-made ingredients as well as local produce. Chef Chiarello is acclaimed chef, Emmy-winning host of Food Network's Easy Entertaining, tastemaker behind NapaStyle and proprietor of Chiarello Family Vineyards.
Day 2
Napa Valley Wine Train Experience with Lunch
Climb on the Napa Valley Wine Train and get ready to start a unique Napa-style experience. The Wine Train is not simply a tour that offers food. It's a gourmet restaurant that serves fine California cuisine. It just happens to roll its way through the spectacular Napa Valley while you savor it. Sample appetizers and beverages in one of the lounge cars en route to St. Helena, and enjoy a three-course meal on the way back to the station. Gourmet meals are crafted by Executive Chef Donald Young and his passionate culinary team in one of three onboard kitchens. Located immediately next to each dining area, guests are encouraged to explore the Train and visit the kitchen cars and see the chefs in action. Lunch or Dinner service is determined by your dates of travel, and custom itinerary created just for you.
Immersive Food & Wine Pairing
This immersive experience includes a tour through the culinary gardens, an introduction to the vineyard’s Stags Leap District terroir, a viewing of the wine production cellars, and a journey to the aging caves followed by an indulgent tasting of seasonal dishes from the Vineyard Kitchen, accompanied by a flight of wines.
Day 3
Check-Out and Departure
Time flies when you’re having so much fun, but alas…it is time to check out and depart this delicious, culinary oasis. Remember, you can always extend your stay based on availability. Should you desire an extension, please let your culinary travel specialist know prior to check-in. May your future travels come from sweet dreams, and create tasty memories!
Sonoma, CaliforniaNapa, California
We had a terrific time on this excursion. The Napa River Inn was beautiful, the Wine Train, cooking class, and everything else made this a terrific experience. Already we are talking about exploring other tours like this. We made somewhat of a late decision on this one, and you really came through with a gem.
