There's a place in Napa Valley where the morning fog rolls in like a soft white sea, and rises high above it, untouched, sits Howell Mountain. The locals have a name for it: the best place on earth, just above the fog.
On Saturday, June 20th, that magic comes down from the mountain.
The 31st Annual Taste of Howell Mountain returns to the Great Lawn at the historic Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena, and after three decades, this remains one of the most beloved gatherings on the Napa Valley calendar.
Picture an afternoon spent wandering beneath ancient oaks, glass in hand, as 50 of Howell Mountain's most celebrated wineries pour the bottles that have made this rugged appellation legendary. Estates such as Dunn, Castiel, La Jota, Robert Craig, O'Shaughnessy, Outpost, Lamborn, Arkenstone, Revana, and Howell Mountain Vineyards, all gathered in one place, sharing the fruits of their mountain.
From noon to 5pm lose yourself in the walk-around tasting, gourmet food pairings, silent auction, and prizes around every turn, sweet bites, and the always-spirited live auction, with proceeds benefiting the Angwin Volunteer Fire Department.
