Luxury Winery’s Food & Wine Workshop Aims at Inspiring and Educating
HALL Napa Valley, one of the leading Cabernet Sauvignon producers in the world, has announced the return of its premiere culinary offering, A Taste of HALL. Back for year three, the dynamic monthly culinary workshop returns with an all-star line-up of visiting Napa Valley Chefs and is designed to engage, inspire and educate guests about seasonal food and wine pairings while channeling one’s inner chef. A Taste of HALL is a two-hour, full dining experience that includes HALL and WALT wine pairings with select dishes.
“This series adds an engaging layer to our St. Helena offerings,” says HALL’s Director of Hospitality, Jocelyn Hoar. “Today’s modern travelers are looking for a hands-on, experiential offering that embodies the essence of Napa Valley. A Taste of HALL combines practical food and wine pairing techniques led by a panel of renowned Napa Valley Chefs.”
Luxury stemware brand, Riedel Glassware, has been selected as the 2017 Series Sponsor and will be providing a custom-etched Riedel glass takeaway for each attendee.
