Napa Valley Restaurant Month: A Culinary Celebration

January is one of the most inviting times to visit Napa. The pace is slower after the holidays, the vineyards are turning green, and locals and visitors alike enjoy a quieter side of wine country. It is also when Napa Valley Restaurant Month™ takes place — a culinary celebration that highlights the region’s best dining.

This annual event allows both visitors and locals to explore the five towns of Napa, each with its own dedicated “restaurant week” filled with special offers and seasonal menus. From creative chefs to farm-fresh ingredients, the month showcases why Napa is known as a world-class dining destination.

Why Visit in January?

Beyond the dining deals, January is a peaceful season in Napa. Mustard flowers start to bloom, the hills turn green from winter rains, and tasting rooms are less crowded.
