About the Event

Downtown Napa’s dining scene has an abundance of new and renowned eateries. Tackle them all in one evening and under one roof with the First Taste Napa tasting featuring the culinary stars behind the scenes at more than ten of downtown Napa’s favorite restaurants.

At each restaurant’s station, sample artfully prepared nibbles, known as amuse bouche, and tastes of fine wine poured by Napa Valley’s legendary wineries. Join us for this small-plates kick-off to Flavor! Napa Valley 2012, a perfect way to whet the appetite for the week’s main events.
