In the heart of Napa Valley’s most charming village, where culinary sophistication meets wine country elegance, an opulent experience awaits at JCB Yountville: the JCB Caviar Experience, a luxurious tasting flight that marries refinement, sustainability, and sensory indulgence.
Curated in partnership with Tsar Nicoulai, California’s premier sustainable caviar producer, the JCB Caviar Experience is not just a tasting, it’s a journey through origin, texture, and time. With deep reverence for both tradition and innovation, this exclusive experience invites gourmands and curious epicureans alike to explore nine distinctive offerings from five different species of sturgeon and roe, presented in a format as polished as the sparkling flutes that accompany them.
The Art of Indulgence, Reimagined
Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a first-time taster, the JCB Caviar Experience is designed to educate as much as it delights. Each flight includes three half-ounce portions of caviar or roe, beautifully presented alongside pillowy blini, crisp potato chips, and a generous dollop of crème fraîche. It’s a modern homage to old-world rituals, a sensual balance of elegance and playfulness.
Choose your journey:
New World Flight (Black Label)
Origin: Wilton, CA
Selections: Reserve, Golden Reserve, Estate
Sourced from sustainably farmed Californian White Sturgeon, this flight showcases the subtle but exquisite gradations of domestic caviar. The Reserve offers a velvety texture and clean, nutty finish; the Golden Reserve is a rare and luminous selection with a buttery depth; and the Estate is delicate, yet complex, a true nod to Northern California terroir, not of grapes, but of pristine waters.
This is California luxury distilled into every pearl.
Old World Flight (Gold Label)
Origin: Greece
Selections: Baerii, Golden Osetra, Osetra
Evoking the timeless allure of European aristocracy, the Old World flight introduces Baerii, with its earthy richness; Golden Osetra, a prized delicacy that glows with mineral elegance; and the classic Osetra, beloved for its firm bite and lingering, complex finish. Sustainably farmed in Greece, these selections bridge heritage and ethics in each indulgent bite.
Exploration Flight
Origin: California, France, Alaska
Selections: Classic Sturgeon, French Trout Roe, Smoked Salmon Roe
Vibrant, adventurous, and unexpectedly playful, the Exploration flight invites you to discover caviar’s bold younger siblings. French Trout Roe bursts with freshness and citrusy brightness, while Smoked Salmon Roe brings a whisper of the wild Pacific in each smoky pop. Anchored by the Classic California sturgeon caviar, this flight is ideal for those craving flavor diversity with a sustainable ethos.
The Grand Finale: Kaluga Gold
For the ultimate indulgence, treat yourself to a bump of Golden Kaluga Hybrid, one of the most sought-after caviars in the world, served ceremoniously with a glass of JCB Caviar Sparkling Blanc de Blancs. It’s a golden moment, decadent, effervescent, and unforgettable.
