An Exquisite Napa Valley Wine Country Dinner with Chef Gary Hild

Napa Valley is the heart of California wine country where the food is as important as the wine!

Welcome to Napa, home to artisan winemakers, grape-growing and organic farms, plus stunning vistas and an ambiance of effortless splendor. Just a short drive north of the Golden Gate, It encompasses redwoods, backroads, spas, five-star restaurants and 13 distinctive wine regions.

Tonight, you’re learning from an accomplished culinary instructor and Executive Chef Gary Hild, who has spent a lot of time in the Napa Valley region where he honed his amazing culinary skills by participating in continuing education classes at the world-renowned Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in St. Helena, and organized and taught at many wine dinner experiences for locals and tourists at a local Napa winery.  So, you better believe has a magnificent meal up his sleeve for you to enjoy this evening.  

Join Chef Gary as he shares some of his favorite recipes inspired by the food and wine of this exquisite region.  No doubt, after this evening, they will become some of your favorites too!

Our menu: Sautéed Shrimp served with a Ginger Butternut Squash, a spicy roasted cauliflower salad with a lovely sauce, Pan-Seared Filet of Beef with California Mushrooms and a gorgeous red wine reduction, colorful vegetable side dish, and more.  To finish our fabulous Wine Country dinner, we’ll enjoy a decadent chocolate dessert with a salty surprise. 

Naturally, Chef Gary will share stories of his adventures from his time spent in “the valley”, and we’ll pair two of his favorite California wines with dinner, as well. Not to mention, you’ll get some hands-on cooking time alongside this engaging chef.

A perfect night out with friends!
