The abundant harvest of the walnut trees on their property is packaged in holiday wrap and delivered every year to friends of the winery, as is the special orange marmalade made from the numerous orange trees on their land. Most unique is the display of some of founder John Trefethen's collection of mechanical toys. A nostalgic wonder for children and adults alike. To all those who have been there, the Napa Valley is a magical place. It's a passion for the grape, the artistry of the winemaker, the bounty of the land, the cycle of the seasons.
Nothing is so true as during the holiday season in the Napa Valley or at the Napa Valley Grille.
The harvest is in, the crush is completed. The vines are bare and the vineyards are quiet. But The Valley is humming with warm hospitality, traditional gatherings of family and friends and a flurry of festive activity. One of the most unique holiday offerings from Napa Valley's premium wineries is the annual Carols in the Caves series featuring nationally known musician, David Auerbach. Auerbach, a musical instrument historian, plays a series of rare stringed instruments from around the world, many not played or found any longer in the cultures from which they originate.
