About the Event

Imagine yourself one of just ten people dining at one of Napa Valley’s finest restaurants (it probably has a Michelin star or two). The chef has created a special menu for the intimate gathering, featuring ingredients from within a 100-mile radius. He or she joins your party to discuss the menu and his or her interpretation of Napa Valley’s bounty. (And maybe even share an anecdote or two life as a restaurateur!) The sommelier or wine director stops by to discuss the pairings, some of the finest wines in the Valley naturally.  This rare dining experience will be unlike any you’ve ever had. Be part of an exclusive group at one of eighteen signature restaurants and immerse yourself in the best of Napa’s food and wine – and company, of course! The best part is, all net proceeds from Flavor! Napa Valley benefit the CIA at Greystone Campus scholarship programs, which support the development of tomorrow’s culinary and wine education leaders. Who knows what future Ultimate Flavors event they might create?
