RH Yountville, originally published in Touring & Tasting, spring\/summer 2020.<\/p><\/div>\n

An enchanting, elegant and extremely upscale amalgamation\u00a0of food, wine, art and design, RH Yountville<\/a> showcases\u00a0a dazzling new experience in the heart of Napa Valley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The five-building compound features a chic indoor-outdoor\u00a0restaurant where guests dine to the sounds of water trickling\u00a0from dramatic seven-foot fountains under a towering glass\u00a0roof, surrounded by 100-year-old heritage olive trees and\u00a0sparkling crystal chandeliers.<\/p>\n

Previously known as Restoration Hardware, parent company\u00a0RH launched this flagship project in 2019, marking Chairman\u00a0and CEO Gary Friedman\u2019s ongoing collaboration with celebrated\u00a0restaurateur Brendan Sodikoff and award-winning\u00a0design architect James Gillam of Backen & Gillam<\/a> (recognized\u00a0as one of Architectural Digest\u2019s<\/em> Top 100 architecture and\u00a0design firms in the world, including more than a dozen top\u00a0estate winery projects).<\/p>\n

\u201cRH Yountville reflects our vision for creating inspiring spaces\u00a0and authentic experiences that respect and amplify the local\u00a0culture. This is an inherently personal project given our nearby\u00a0headquarters in Marin County,\u201d said Friedman.<\/p>\n

In addition to RH Restaurant, featuring an ingredient-driven\u00a0menu with elevated interpretations of timeless classics like\u00a0ribeye steaks, lobster rolls and housemade pastas, as well\u00a0as an extensive brunch menu, RH Yountville also includes a\u00a0two-story stone Wine Vault at the historic Ma(i)sonry building.<\/p>\n

Originally home to one of Napa\u2019s first vintners in the early\u00a020th century, the landmark building has been transformed\u00a0with a 24-foot cedar ceiling, rough-cut fieldstone walls, luxe\u00a0lounge seating and a monumental limestone bar. Visitors can\u00a0discover a curated selection of rare, limited-production wines\u00a0from some of the valley\u2019s top small producers, as well as\u00a0classic champagnes.<\/p>\n

Adjacent to The Wine Vault is an outdoor Wine and Barista\u00a0Bar serving craft espresso, teas, fresh cold-pressed juices and\u00a0wines by the glass. Also on the property are two boutique\u00a0design galleries, featuring globally sourced antiques and\u00a0inspired objects \u2014 all connected by lush garden courtyards\u00a0with granite and bluestone walking paths and outdoor living\u00a0room areas that can be reserved for wine tastings.<\/p>\n
