This event magnifique is considered by many to be Napa Valley’s most creative, extravagant gathering of the year.
The festival runs through April, so check out the event calendar for other cool venues.
Also, if you haven’t dined at the Culinary Institute of America’s St.Helena campus, the seasonal events might be the push you need to taste some amazing cuisine. Starting January 25th, the first installment takes it’s inspiration from the Chinese New Year. From the site:
Let’s do (dim) sum-thing fun for Chinese New Year! China has one of the world’s oldest, most sophisticated, and influential cuisines, and Chef James will thrill us with some new and classic Chinese dishes. Of course, he’ll always keep in mind the concept of yin and yang, which is about balance in everything, including food. You’ve seen it before: mild with spicy, crunchy with soft, and, perhaps the most famous, sweet with sour. Get ready to wok and roll!
With a continued program through March, you really should go to at least one event.
If you’re free on Sunday of this week, you might want to grace the grounds at Copia as you indulge in wines from Sonoma. With more than 75 Wineries pouring juice, you’re sure to stumble upon a label or two that exceeds your expectations. The fee is $35USD for non-members and includes ‘fine cheeses and artisan breads’.
