Calistoga Harvest Table

Every September, the heart of downtown Calistoga undergoes a magical transformation. Lincoln Avenue, the town’s main street, closes to cars and transforms into a .2 mile banquet hall, where elegant white-clothed tables stretch as far as the eye can see. Up to a thousand guests gather shoulder-to-shoulder for one of Napa Valley’s most anticipated celebrations: Calistoga Harvest Table.

This annual open-air dinner captures everything that both travelers and locals love about Napa—its food, wine, and community spirit. Twelve of Calistoga’s top restaurants design multi-course menus that spotlight the late-summer bounty, while twelve of the region’s celebrated wineries pour the perfect pairings. Think silky Pinot Noirs and bold Cabernet Sauvignons, mineral-bright Chardonnays and aromatic Sauvignon Blancs, each sip echoing the character of the surrounding vineyards.

The following wineries had stations throughout the event where they sold glasses and bottles of wine: Lawyer Estates, Chateau Montelena, Picayune Cellars, Joseph Cellars, Elusa, Bennett Lane Winery, Wild Diamond Vineyards, Sterling Vineyards, Tedeschi Napa Valley, Larkmead, and The Wager.

Dinner by TRUSS

The Cellar Mouse team took their seats at the TRUSS Table during the Calistoga Harvest Table. TRUSS Restaurant + Bar, nestled within the Four Seasons Napa Valley, showcased its signature American-Mediterranean flavors and local ingredients. Chef fired up a Green Egg barbecue to sear perfectly cooked steaks, which we savored as part of a four-course feast thoughtfully paired with elegant Larkmead wines.

A Nightcap at The Calistoga Depot

As the stars rose higher, the celebration continued at The Calistoga Depot. Built in 1868 and recently reimagined as a culinary and cultural hub, this historic train station invites guests to explore ten distinct food and beverage spaces. With live music and a lively crowd, it was the perfect finale to an unforgettable harvest night.

For the Cellar Mouse team, this first taste of Calistoga Harvest Table was pure magic. One evening was enough to know: they’ll be back for next year’s feast.
