Napa, CA — January 21, 2026 — Feast it Forward, Napa’s premier culinary media platform and live studio, and Visit Napa Valley, the official Destination Marketing Organization for Napa Valley, announce the launch of ROTATION by Feast it Forward, the region’s first full-service restaurant residency. Opening February 2026 with a residency by celebrated Chef Martin Yan, ROTATION will showcase a rotating lineup of acclaimed and rising chefs, paired with live entertainment and purpose-driven programming.
“ROTATION is where chefs become headliners and cuisine becomes a curated experience,” said Feast it Forward founder Katie Hamilton Shaffer. “Chef Martin Yan brings not only extraordinary talent, but a spirit of curiosity, culture, and connection that aligns perfectly with the heart of Feast it Forward. We are honored to open our doors with his residency and to share this experience with our community and guests from around the world.”
As part of the Feast.Network ecosystem, ROTATION brings food, music, and storytelling together in a unique live format. Each residency will feature ticketed dinners that support the chef’s chosen charity, culminating in concerts inspired by the chef’s cultural roots. Restaurant tech partner Toast will power the guest experience. The March chef residency will be announced on February 10, 2026.
At the helm of ROTATION is Executive Chef Jeff Mosher, who will guide the core culinary team, collaborate with guest chefs, and create seasonal menus highlighting Napa Valley’s bounty. With more than 20 years in the region and a career spanning Robert Mondavi Winery, Julia’s Kitchen at Copia, and international postings from Singapore to Costa Rica, Mosher is known for his farm-to-table ethos and globally inspired style.
“I’m thrilled to bring this innovative concept to Napa Valley alongside such a passionate team,” said Mosher. “ROTATION will be unlike anything else in wine country.”
ROTATION will be located in the former C Casa space at Oxbow Public Market, which for over 15 years has anchored Napa’s food culture and community.
“Visit Napa Valley is proud to partner with Feast it Forward to welcome world-renowned chefs to Napa Valley and create experiences that reflect both our local culinary excellence and global influences,” said Linsey Gallagher, President & CEO of Visit Napa Valley. “ROTATION by Feast it Forward brings international flavors to our community and local residents while offering visitors something truly unexpected. Through Feast it Forward’s powerful content platform, we’re able to share these moments far beyond the table—showcasing Napa Valley’s dynamic food scene to audiences around the world.”
