Description

The Pietro family from Franklin School has again planned a fabulous Napa Valley getaway weekend for two! The relaxation starts with a two-night stay at the Vineyard Country Inn in St. Helena. Vineyard Country Inn is a Bed & Breakfast, inspired by the gentle beauty of the French countryside. St. Helena is known for its quiet and natural beauty, exceptional cuisine and world-renowned vineyards. You will enjoy a birds-eye view of this calm paradise in a Napa Valley hot air balloon! Soar to new heights and see why we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world. The Pietros then invite you to enjoy dinner at La Toque. Chef Ken Frank's restaurant in the Napa Valley serves a French inspired prix fixe menu with choices at each course. In addition to the extensive wine list, a wine pairing menu is offered nightly with wines chosen by Sommelier Scott Tracy and Ken to match each dish on the menu, showcasing his passion for food and wine. In-Style Magazine gushed over the restaurant, writing that "Locals consider the gourmet meals at La Toque a less formal alternative to the French Laundry. The charming French country-style restaurant has only 15 tables; ask for one near the fireplace or on the patio, and make sure you try chef Ken Frank's foie gras with apricots and sauternes." And finally, to bring home a little something to remind you of your weekend getaway in Napa, the Pietro Family have include a bottle of Pietrantouni 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon, harvested at the Vineyard Country Inn itself. This amazing weekend will leave you rejuvenated!
