Napa, CA – The CIA at ������������ will reopen its outdoor dining restaurant “Grove” June 25 and is accepting reservations now.

������������’s outdoor garden restaurant The Colavita Olive Grove Terrace and Outdoor Kitchen, affectionately known to locals as “Grove,” will be the first part of The CIA at ������������ to reopen to the public and will feature a new Garden Supper program.

“As we planned the reopening of Grove, we wanted to build around this idea of a garden party or backyard barbecue as a place for togetherness and gathering in a relaxed, yet beautiful setting,” said John Riggio, director of restaurants and special events at The CIA at ������������. “Served family-style, the reimagined menu will showcase the bounty of our on-site garden and the freshest seasonal ingredients. As always, as at the CIA we strive to deliver dining experiences that create avenues for discovery as well, such as an unexpected twist on a quintessential summertime classic.”

Grove Launches Garden Suppers
The three-course, prix fixe Garden Suppers will feature dishes like Wood Fire Roasted Rack of Lamb, Broccoli with Harissa and Cilantro Gremolata and Porchetta with Cranberry Bean Ragout with Long-Cooked Escarole.

Desserts include Garden “Seascape” Strawberry Shortcake with Chantilly Cream and Roasted Peaches with Amaretti Filling and Vanilla Sauce, among others. Suppers will be complemented by refreshing summer cocktails and wines from California producers and beyond.

Set against the backdrop of ������������’s expansive culinary gardens and olive grove terrace, Grove is an ideal setting for guests to relax and enjoy the company of their group with ample distance from other parties. As seats will be limited for social distancing, reservations are strongly encouraged and . Grove will be open nightly from 5–9 p.m.

Following reopening of Grove, other culinary experiences at The CIA at ������������ will resume in phases based upon demand; registration is open now for indoor and outdoor classes in August and beyond. These include cooking and beverage classes covering a variety of global and regional cuisines, summertime favorites like Farm to Table Cooking, as well as outdoor classes like Everyday Grilling and Seasonal Cocktails from the Garden.

“We are thrilled to be opening our doors to the community once again and will be announcing more programming and events for this summer and fall soon,” said Riggio.
