Our welcome dinner will be hosted on premises at Olive and Hay for locally sourced farm-to-table Italian inspired cuisine. After our meal, there is not a moment to spare; onsite entertainment will be held in the recently renovated Crush Lounge, a bowling alley meets sports bar - there will guaranteed fun until all the pins drop.

A short twenty minutes caravan will whisk you out to brunch at Grace's Table in downtown Napa. Wear your walking shoes. The day is composed of options for shopping, bike riding, perusing Oxbow Public Market, art galleries, and more. 

 

We will collectively assemble at Robert Mondavi Arch and Tower for the iconic ‘Legend Lunch’ where a culinary team will share three deliciously paired courses with wines from The Estates Collection. After our meal, a short half-mile walk over the Napa River takes us to Quilt and Co for a Belle Glos wine tasting event.

 

Dinner is at your leisure, recommendations for reservations will be suggested closer to our travel date. Meet up later in the evening to listen to some local live music at JAM Cellars and from there, we will collectively return to the Grand Reserve. 

Wake up with some stretching and strengthening on the mat with an hour-long Pilates and Yoga class co-led by Amber Mills and Sarah Paige Wilde.
