With so many different restaurants and wineries to choose from in the Napa Valley, it can be difficult to decide where to indulge in a delicious meal. Enter - the Culinary Crawl, a walking food and wine tour that takes you to exciting restaurants and tasting rooms in Downtown Napa. Typically hosted on Thursday nights, each Crawl highlights three locations and includes specially prepared bites at each stop along with exclusive drink specials.
Let the Fun Begin
Are you eager to start your culinary adventure? Show up to the first stop a few minutes early so your Culinary Crawl hosts can greet you and get you all checked in. As you settle into the scene, take time to introduce yourself to the other guests participating in the Crawl. Like any tour, this event is a great place to connect with people outside of your normal circle. You could potentially meet a lifelong friend or a future business partner!
Each stop also includes special raffle prizes. After everyone has had a chance to enjoy their bites and artfully paired drinks, the Culinary Crawl hosts will announce the lucky winners. The prizes include a number of items such as gift cards, wine certificates, and special merchandise from the participating restaurants. With 20-30 guests on the tour, your chances of winning are high!

Take in the Sites
Perhaps the best part of the Culinary Crawl is taking in the sites of Downtown Napa as you wander between restaurants and tasting rooms. If you join the crawl in the fall or winter, make sure you bring along a jacket as the evenings can get quite chilly. The Downtown Napa area showcases a different energy and beauty with each season. As the weather changes, so will the Culinary Crawl. You can look forward to some exciting new themes, from a Galentine’s Day party to an elevated culinary spring adventure to a summer rooftop series.
