Copia In Napa ValleyCopia is a center for wine, food and the arts in Napa Valley, California. It is a great wine country destination, with wine tasting, gourmet food, art exhibits, a culinary garden, children's garden, classes, a restaurant and cafe.
Inside the main building, there's a small interactive exhibit on wine and wine related topics. Other galleries have rotating exhibits. You can taste wines as well. Their gift shop has lovely wine related items. On weekends, guest chefs hold cooking classes. Other programs go on throughout the week. While I was there, a class was being held on what to do with an artichoke. Julia's Kitchen is a fine dining restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The American Market Cafe has gourmet treats in a more casual setting. While there, I enjoyed a delicious Portobello mushroom sandwich on ciabatta with a Ceaser salad. My daughter preferred the PB & J on the kid's menu. It came with carrot slices, grapes and a cookie. To visit, go to 500 First Street in downtown Napa. Call 707-259-1600 or see www.copia.org for information on upcoming events. Admission is $12.50 for adults, $10 for seniors, $7.50 for students, $5 for teens 13-20, and free for kids. Truly a Napa Valley wine country experience!
