Napa Valley, California
Serving up inspired modern American cuisine composed of locally sourced foods from the Napa Valley, Meadowood is reflective of its surroundings—relaxed yet elegant. “Our restaurant is very singular in its story, including our approach to food and service,” says Chef Christopher Kostow. “The people, culture and attention to detail create a unique and personal experience for our guests.” Here, guests can expect a highly curated, bespoke experience and an immense wine cellar boasting upwards of 1,200 bottles.
On the Menu: “A favorite dish was a cheese course centered around Sierra beauty apples. The apples were dried for a three-month period in which they became pruned with a fuller flavor. We stored the apple leaves in a salt solution for a few weeks to add a subtle brine, and then wrapped them around a fresh goat cheese. These components were then served with a dense porridge bread made with fermented koji rice.”
At Home: “We cook simple and healthy at home—usually fresh fish and vegetables.”
