Located just off of the historic Silverado Trail in St. Helena, California, Meadowood Resort in Napa Valley is sharing its exquisite chefs for twelve days over Christmas to give back to children less fortunate.
For twelve nights, Meadowood will have twelve world renowned chefs collaborating with twelve of Napa Valley’s preeminent vintners to cook for very small and intimate groups. While guests will enjoy the astounding surroundings and delicious cuisine of Meadowood Resort, they will also be a part of the Twelve Days of Christmas at Meadowood event, which will raise money for the Share Our Strength organization, which helps to feed hungry children.
