Napa Valley Restaurant to Deliver Farm-to-Table Ingredients and Signature Chiarello Style
Chef Michael Chiarello, Emmy-winning tastemaker behind NapaStyle and Chiarello Family Vineyards, and founding chef of Tra Vigne restaurant, is pleased to announce plans to open a new signature restaurant in Fall 2008. Located within the V Marketplace complex in Yountville, CA, the yet-to-be-named restaurant will celebrate Michael Chiarello's signature cuisine and entertaining style as well as farm-to-table regional ingredients. Additionally, Chef Chiarello announced plans for a Flagship NapaStyle retail store inside the V Marketplace to open in Summer 2008.
"Having lived and cooked in the Napa Valley for over 20 years -- and made wine here for 10 years -- my distinct love of this valley includes memories of a different era," says Michael. "My sense of what constitutes a memorable culinary experience has shifted over the years, along with what the general public has come to expect. I'm thrilled to be stepping back into my chef jacket and clogs, and to greet food and wine lovers once again with my personal blend of Napa Valley's famous hospitality. To be joining Yountville's talented community of chefs and restaurateurs is a true honor."
After leaving his post as Tra Vigne's executive chef, Chiarello continued to share his passion for Napa Valley living through his personally designed line of NapaStyle gourmet food products, cookware and furniture, as well as through his Emmy-winning television show, Easy Entertaining on Food Network. His new restaurant, the culmination of 24-years of professional cooking, will embody Michael's steadfast love of rustic flavors and sustainable living through a truly memorable and quintessentially Napa dining experience.
"Michael's inspiring restaurant plan will serve to further define Yountville as a world class culinary Mecca," added V Marketplace managing general partner, Jan Lee Fechter. "We couldn't be more pleased that he chose V Marketplace as his new home."
