Previously known as “Restaurant Month,” Napa Valley Restaurant Week provides both visitors and locals with an added incentive to experience a new restaurant or revisit a favorite. The weeklong promotion, Jan. 24 – 31, 2016, offers diners a choice of a two-course lunch for $20 per person, or a three-course dinner for $36 or $46 per person.  In addition, many of the participating restaurants are donating corkage fees during the week to the Napa Food Bank or a charity of their choice. 

Each chef has created menus to celebrate the season and many of the restaurants offer optional wine pairings at an additional cost.  To view the complete list of restaurants participating in Napa Valley Restaurant Week, visit www.visitnapavalley.com/restaurant_week
