TRAVEL SPOTLIGHT: NAPA'S FAMOUS CHEF POPS UP IN OJAI, CALIFORNIA THIS WINTER

November 10, 2020

The Restaurant at Meadowood Napa is taking their famous show on the road this winter. From January 6 to February 28, 2021, The Farmhouse at Ojaj Valley Inn and Spa will welcome Chef Christopher Kostow for a pop-up Winter Residency.

Chef Kostow will present a six-course meal for the senses reflective of the Michelin Guide 3-star experience at The Restaurant at Meadowood in Napa Valley. The dinner will feature local ingredients grown in both Napa and Ojai that celebrate the stories of the artisans, growers, and foragers of these dynamic California valleys.

$495 per person includes wine pairings, exclusive of tax. Reservations are required and seating is extremely limited. Guests will be seated exclusively with the parties they book with rather than a communal dining table.

Tickets will go on sale at 10:00 AM PST on Thursday, November 12, 2020.


About Christopher Kostow

IMG_0366.JPG

Christopher Kostow is the critically acclaimed chef of The Restaurant at Meadowood in St. Helena, California and the third youngest chef to ever receive three Michelin stars. Kostow draws upon his own American upbringing and the singular beauty and bounty of the Napa Valley to cook food that is thoughtful, personal, and in concert with his community and collaborators.

Christopher, a Chicago native, graduated from Hamilton College with a degree in philosophy before moving to the kitchen. He has cooked with celebrated chefs such as Trey Foshee of Georges at the Cove in San Diego, Campton Place in San Francisco with Daniel Humm and Le Jardin des Sens in Montpellier, France. After earning two Michelin stars at Chez TJ in Mountain View, Kostow arrived at The Restaurant at Meadowood in 2008. He has since been chosen as one of Food & Wine Magazine’s Best New Chefs in 2009 and holds an award from the James Beard Foundation for Best Chef: Pacific 2013.

Ten Speed Press published Christopher’s debut book, A New Napa Cuisine, in 2014. In 2015, his work was awarded “Book of the Year” by the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP).
