Calistoga Harvest Table

Date: 9/8

Another one of the tasty wine and food events in Napa in September is the Calistoga Harvest Table, celebrating the plentiful harvest season with 13 local restaurants and 44 wineries.

To get a seat at the 1,000 feet of tables set out in the middle of downtown, make sure to buy your tickets with anticipation, as this event may very well sell out.

The drinks start flowing at 4:30 pm and dinner is served at 6pm for this sophisticated Sunday evening event.

Tickets: Available for All Days

The Fortinet Championship golf tournament will be held once again on the pristine PGA courses at the Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa.

Bale Grist Mill Harvest Dinner

Date: 9/28

Head on over to Saint Helena for the annual Harvest Dinner, a friendly outdoor community gathering at the Bale Grist Mill. This park has great historical significance, as the mill is older than the city itself, and helped to sustain the pioneers who set up the town's first church. 

This wholesome tradition is a lantern-lit dinner event catered by Elaine Bell, complete with checkered tablecloths and the huge restored (and still functioning!) waterwheel of the mill as the scenic backdrop. 

In addition to good food and conversation, there will be a live auction as well.
