The Napa Chefs Market has closed for the season. However, I attended the last one with friends A&D. The Chefs Market is a family event. It includes entertainment (4 stages), cooking demonstrations, produce, wine pairings and craft vendors. A&D are experienced customers at the Market. They know where to eat, they know the jewelry vendor, they even know where to find a seat and eat enjoy the entertainment. It was a treat to be guided through the crowd. The produce section had slowed down for the season but I was determined to come home with heirloom tomatoes, which I found. We then wandered over to the food. Pulled pork sandwich for me, tacos for A and D had a beef sandwich (I think). Next we roamed just outside of the Market to "Sift" for cupcakes. We tried the Snickerdoodle, Pink Champagne, Oh La La, Irish Car Bomb, Peanut Butter Ripple (Yum!) and Over the Moon. You have to love the names of these cupcakes. The cupcakes where enjoyable, although the frosting was a little sweet for my taste. We enjoyed our cupcakes with a nice cup of coffee from Annette's. Such an enjoyable evening with good friends, food (lots of it) and people watching. Next year, I will make more of an effort to make it to Napa for this Market.
Deliveries this week will be on Saturday as I will be at Wooden Valley Sunday for Harvest. Harvest is a great event! Come and see us if you get a chance.
