Calistoga Food & Wine Event
Two Days of Sampling and Sipping at the Calistoga Food and Wine Event
Napa Valley is synonymous with unbelievable wine experiences, from famed wineries and their wares, to behold-the-majesty of nature and weep scenery to pair. Beyond the favored beverage, the valley is considered a culinary capital of the world. A location where world-renowned chefs culminate to assess their skills and showcase the bounty of the regions provisions. The combination of the two is a next level pairing and these attributes makes the Valley a go-to when it comes to exploring the latest flavors of food and drink.
Continue upvalley and you’ll hit Calistoga; the rustic and refined hat of the region. Known for the geothermal waters that flow beneath and the plethora of spa services that coincide, there’s a small town feel but it truly is anything but tiny. A downtown strip of local shops, delightful restaurant, and petite tasting rooms welcome you to explore, but beyond these boundaries is an extensive list of notable wineries waiting to be savored.
In celebration of all things food and wine in Calistoga, the Calistoga Winegrowers and Solage Calistoga are hosting an epicurean adventure with their fourth annual Calistoga Food and Wine event on April 21st-22nd. Bringing together the top chefs and boutique wineries from the acclaimed AVA, this two-day event will celebrate the signature, sensorial delights of the region and the exceptional individuals behind them. This opportunity to interact with the purveyors of wine and food will take guests beyond to gain a broader understanding of the diverse, local industry and the many facets that make it noteworthy.
Two signature events will bookend the weekend with each being housed in a notable, Calistoga location. Choose your favorite or attend both for the full flavors of some of the most hard to find, boutique wineries and notable local chefs and restaurants. A portion of the event’s proceeds will go to the Boys and Girls Club of St. Helena and Calistoga.
Friday, April 21st – Winemaker Dinner at Fairwinds Estate
Friday festivities have a special, intimate location in Fairwinds Estate’s 22,000 square foot wine cave. Join Chef Rick Warkel, of Calistoga Kitchen, for a crafted meal beginning with local cheeses and charcuteries, leading to family style samplings of colorful roasted beets, akaushi, flavorful short ribs, and creamy risotto (along with much more!) And the final encore of flourless chocolate cake with raspberries and Chantilly cream. This decadent meal, in an absolutely spellbinding setting, will include wines from a trio of local wineries. Thoughtful pours will complement each memorable course and highlight the Calistoga AVA.
