Cabernet Season in the Napa Valley welcomes mild temperatures and heartier meals—the perfect pairing for a bold Cabernet Sauvignon. During mid fall to early spring the pace is set a bit slower, providing visitors with the opportunity to appreciate the finer details. It’s a time to book an entire spa day; have the opportunity to meet the winemaker; linger after each delicious meal; sleep in; and do it all over again. Like a fine wine, the valley shouldn’t be rushed; it’s a place to take your time, relax, restore and reconnect.

Join us for Flavor! Napa Valley® during Cabernet Season and experience the finest in farm-to-table cuisine, world-class wines and culinary star talent. Guests will delight in events ranging from local and celebrity chef demonstrations to intimate winemaker workshops along with Grand Tastings and exclusive experiences that bring out the best flavors of Napa Valley. It’s the perfect time of year for five days of culinary indulgence, and to wine and dine with Napa Valley’s legendary talent.

Net proceeds from the event support programs and scholarships at The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in St. Helena, CA.

The impressive food and wine talents of the Napa Valley - a region that earned 14 Michelin restaurant stars in 2010 - and the good times that occur when they come together in this world-class destination will be celebrated in a new series of epicurean and oenophile events from November 17 – 20, 2011, hosted at Silverado Resort & Spa in Napa, and at the Culinary Institute of America,(CIA) at Greystone, in St. Helena.

The four-day Flavor! Napa Valley Celebration of Wine, Food & Fun will feature exclusive Napa Valley wineries alongside chefs who either have restaurants in the region and/or are graduates of the Culinary Institute of America. Net proceeds from the event will support programs and scholarships at the CIA’s Greystone Campus.
