Napa Valley has long been one of the most highly regarded romantic destinations in the country. Though we certainly have been feeling the amorous air at our Napa Valley Bed and Breakfast for the past couple of weeks, we also recognize that there’s so much more to Napa than romance. Good wine and good food have been staples of Napa Valley for decades. Napa has long been considered a hotbed of culinary invention. In fact, Napa is the original foodie destination; a legacy that lives on today. Given the incredible culinary environment that surrounds us, we’re excited about some upcoming events coming to Napa in February and March of this year. If a vacation centered around some of the most delicious food in the country sounds good to you, then book your room at our romantic Bed and Breakfast today. It’s never too early to plan for these popular events!
Napa’s Culinary Events
From top-rated, Michelin Starred celebrity chefs to flavorful and inventive international cuisine, Napa is a exciting place to dine. At the end of February and March, there are 3 exciting culinary events coming to Napa. First, on February 23rd, is the Napa Culinary Crawl. This regularly occurring event is a walking food and wine tour that features Downtown Napa’s top restaurants. You will walk, taste, and sip your way through the best tasting rooms and restaurants that Napa has to offer. Tickets to the Napa Culinary Crawl are $30, and include delicious small bites and drinks at the following places: Napkins Bar and Grill, Tarla Mediterranean Bar and Grill, and Uncorked at Oxbow.
