It is one of the worlds most natural partnerships – fine wine and good food. They are the most harmonious of pairs, as each works to enhance the other’s flavour. It comes as no surprise then that California’s Napa Valley has become known for not only their world class wines but their culinary culture as well. Over the years the valley has drawn chefs from around the world, who’s restaurants have earned critical acclaim and a few michelin stars for the amity created between menu and wine.
This past summer my family, along with our longtime family friends, whiled away a beautiful ten days sampling all the cuisine this region has become famous for. Lunch, dinner and dessert all became welcome excuses to explore Napa’s diverse restaurant scene and savour a bottle or two (as is custom in the valley). Overall this delectable experience will not soon be forgotten, but there were a few places in particular that are worth not just remembering but also recommending. Here is the article I wrote for BC Living listing my top picks for Napa Valley fare.
