CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

By Brian Rowbotham

We’re very pleased to introduce a special event for our members and their guests in Napa - Festival Napa, held annually at the top vineyards and restaurants throughout the Napa Valley in July each year!

 

We’ve been in touch with the festival’s management and have obtained a special discount for HKANC members and guests wanting to attend the Taste of Napa on July 15. See member invitation email for details.

In addition to the afternoon Taste of Napa venue, the festival management is making all their activities, including wine tastings, dinners, and performances at a discount to our members and guests. This year, several activities will feature well-known performers from the Asian community, and next year the festival will have an Asian theme, so this is worth adding to your calendars.

Festival Napa is one of the premier events in Napa Valley, and we think this will be a really fun gourmet food and wine-tasting day for our members and guests. Hope to see you there.

  1. July 15 | Taste of Napa at the Meritage Resort
