Romantic Wineries in Napa Valley: A Curated Journey...

29th July 2026

In Brief: The most romantic wineries in Napa Valley are Castello di Amorosa in Calistoga, a Tuscan-style castle with cave and cellar tastings; Domaine Carneros, a French-style château known for sparkling wine; Far Niente in Oakville, with reservation-only tastings in secluded gardens; and Sterling Vineyards, reached by aerial tram for panoramic valley views. Visit during the September–October harvest or in spring for softer light and smaller crowds. The most memorable Napa Valley wine experiences are usually those that take place against carefully curated backdrops. Think candle-lit wine tasting inside ancient caves, a terrace view of rolling vineyards from inside a chateau, and spectacular sunsets across the valley.

Women Who Launch: Lady Eliza Spencer

27th July 2026

Lady Eliza Spencer could easily have attached her name to an existing brand, but instead she chose to create her own. Lala V, a Côtes de Provence rosé produced in collaboration with Domaine Tropez, reflects a personal affection for the South of France and a desire to bottle a lifestyle centred on slowing down, gathering together and finding joy in the everyday.

Meet The Chef: Ella Williams of No. Forty Nine

29th June 2026

Since then, she's worked her way through the kitchens of top restaurants including Mountain, Crispin, Cafe Murano, and Cinder. This month, Williams joins bakery, all-day bistro and wine bar No. Forty Nine as their Head Chef, where she'll be working alongside Cinder Chef Owner, Jake Finn.

Top Table: Seabird

26th June 2026

London in summer is a city of wildly misplaced optimism. One glimpse of sun and suddenly everyone is dressed for Ibiza, drinking at lunchtime and behaving as if a Tuesday has no consequences. Seabird, perched on the 14th floor of The Hoxton, Southwark, understands this very specific seasonal delusion and has decided to encourage it beautifully.

Osip: A Quiet Harvest

15th June 2026

Bruton slows you before you realise it. The road to Osip passes quiet fields and stone barns, and by the time you reach the seventeenth century coaching inn that is now its home, the shift in pace feels natural. Inside, the dining room glows softly. Pale walls, exposed beams and thoughtful craft pieces set a calm stage for a restaurant that works through intention rather than theatrics. Osip is shaped by Merlin Labron Johnson, a chef whose path through Europe’s most disciplined kitchens led him back to the countryside where he grew up. Around eighty five percent of what appears on the table is grown in Osip’s own fields and orchard nearby. The team works the land together, planting and harvesting according to the season. The philosophy is not decorative. It is the framework of the kitchen.

Top Table: FENIX Mayfair

26th May 2026

There is a particular kind of glow that happens in Mayfair after dark. It catches on black cabs, polished brass and the well-dressed blur of people moving between drinks, dinner and whatever comes after. Arriving at FENIX Mayfair on Piccadilly, I had the immediate sense this was not going to be a meek little evening. Thank God. London has enough restaurants whispering politely into their linen napkins.
