The CIA at Copia, Napa

A fork made from forks

While visiting Napa we went for drinks at the @ciacopia Culinary Institute of America at Copia in Napa. Here they have a restaurant, bar, store and they offer cooking classes. This time we went to the store and then the bar for some food and a few drinks. I want to look into the cooking classes as they look like fun.

It is located off of 1st street in downtown Napa. 

Napa Valley - Auburge Du Soleil

We went to Napa at the end of January to visit our son who recently moved there. He arrange wine tastings at a few wineries and on Sunday he made reservations at Auburge Du Soleil for breakfast. The spa resort is off of the Silverado Trail and up in the hills overlooking the valley. There are rooms to rent in a very peaceful environment and if you want to have a very relaxing getaway this is the place to stay. It's on the pricey side so maybe not for everyone. 

For breakfast we sat on the deck with an incredible view. The weather was perfect and sitting outside was very comfortable for this time of year. The restaurant is a Michelin Star Restaurant so you know the food is awesome. 

Even if you can't stay there the restaurant is reasonable and a great place to enjoy the Napa Valley.

From Napa take the Silverado Trail and drive 17 miles for about 25 minutes. The turn is on the right and a slight drive up the hill.
