St Helena Food and Wine Tour
Come up-valley with us, past vineyards and blue skies edged by tall mountain ranges on either side to the old-fashioned town of St Helena. Home of the Culinary Institute of America and a handful of notable restaurants, we've selected this tiny town for our newest food tour showcasing talent and creativity framed by wine. We start at 10:25 with an organic assortment of pairings to compliment beautiful varietals while listening to an inspiring story. Next we get a small but mighty taste of Goose & Gander’s famous mushroom soup paired with a Napa Cab. Learn why the converted home is called "The Martini House." Next we visit Olivier, fashioned after the dreamy boutiques in France, where you sample beautiful olive oils, balsamic, caramels and custards. You even get a delicious gift to bring home. We enjoy our last savory pairing at Archetype restaurant where we sample tasty "spa food." We finale at Woodhouse Chocolate on a sweet note.
