Today marks nine incredible years since I planted my roots in Napa Valley, where I’ve found my true calling. In my Feb. 1, 2024 “re-introduction” blog post, I hinted about my future. Now, on my ninth Napaversary, I’m thrilled to announce my new venture: Napa Valley Noir, a luxury concierge business!

✨ Napa Valley Noir is a testament to my life’s journey, connections and passion for curating exceptional experiences. My career as a luxury lifestyle writer and affinity for travel have taken me to nearly 50 countries and territories, allowing me to enjoy the art of living well globally. I’ve developed strong relationships in the Napa community, spent seven years as a director at Alpha Omega winery and earned WSET Level 3 certification. Now, I’m bringing this wealth of experience to create bespoke adventures in Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley, tailored for both aficionados and newcomers alike.
🍷 From private tastings at boutique wineries and meetings with winery owners and winemakers to exclusive vineyard lunches and unforgettable adventures, every moment is meticulously crafted to celebrate these two valley’s unparalleled charm and sophistication.
🌎 Napa Valley Noir is dedicated to catering to a diverse population, transcending racial boundaries to embrace collectors, connoisseurs and enthusiasts of the good life. I’m committed to helping evolve the wine industry narrative for inclusivity is essential for the continued growth of the industry. It’s encouraging to see the increased number of BIPOC working in wine nationwide and visiting Napa Valley since my arrival in 2015. A portion of our proceeds will support Wine Unify, fostering wine education for underrepresented minority groups.
📆 We can’t wait to plan your amazing and unique itinerary. Let’s raise a glass to new beginnings and memorable adventures for everyone!
Kelly,
CONGRATULATIONS. I wish you much success!
Thank you Renata!
