A lovely afternoon at Violetto! Thank you to Art & Clarity for their amazing experience Make Art of My Day journey - something we’ve wanted to do for a long time!
From the stunning Napa Valley inspiration to the incredible lunch by Chef Mark Shoemaker, every detail was thoughtfully curated.
Beautiful dishes paired with exceptional wines from Ehlers Estate, and an experience that truly celebrates creativity, food, and wine country at its best!

There are dinners… and then there are moments. 🖤

@violettonapa in St. Helena delivered the kind of meal that reminds you why food and wine matter — not just for flavor, but for feeling.

Eight courses, each one rooted in the seasons and lifted by the dreamiest wine pairings.

Think: smoked autumn vegetables with aged balsamic… uni tortellini in a silky brodo… wild mushroom risotto crowned with caviar… Liberty Farms duck that tasted like fall on a plate.

Every pour had intention. Every bite had a story.

It’s Napa Valley meets Italian soul, with a quiet elegance that doesn’t need to shout.

If you’re looking for a dining experience that slows time down and makes you fall in love with food all over again — add Violetto to your list now.

🍷 Would you do the 4-course or go all in with the 8-course tasting?

Meet the new flavor of fall at Violetto 🍁

📍 @violettonapa in @alila.napavalley in @sthelenaca

This season, Chef Mark Shoemaker steps into the kitchen with a clear vision: to make Violetto his own by connecting local ingredients, Napa heritage, and his own culinary background in every plate. The new tasting menu celebrates fall through layers of texture, color, and story — from dry aged Sonoma duck breast to wild mushrooms to handmade pastas and slow-cooked sauces that warm you from the inside out. Each dish feels familiar yet elevated, bringing together the richness of the season with the creativity of a chef ascending in his new elements. 💫
