There are brunches, and then there’s brunch at CHANDON, a sensory celebration that pairs Napa Valley’s most refined sparkling wines with chef-driven seasonal plates in a setting that feels both effortlessly chic and unmistakably Californian.
A Napa Valley Icon with a Sparkling Legacy
CHANDON’s story begins in the 1970s, when it became the first winery to open in Yountville. Founded in 1973, CHANDON brought the art of méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine from Champagne to California, forever changing the region’s wine scene. Their legacy of pairing exceptional food with world-class bubbles lives on.
Today, CHANDON remains Napa Green Certified, a testament to its sustainability commitment, and its barrel-inspired architecture and serene grounds make it one of the most photogenic winery destinations in Yountville.
Sparkling Sunday Brunch: Where Effervescence Meets Indulgence
If Sundays were designed for anything, it’s this. The Sparkling Sunday Brunch at CHANDON is a 90-minute escape into refined flavor and relaxed luxury. Hosted in their Epicurean Hub, guests are greeted with a glass of Los Carneros Vintage Brut and a whimsical “chips and dip” of smoked trout, playful, unexpected, and perfectly paired.
From there, the experience unfolds in three decadent acts:
- Seasonal small plates to start, featuring heirloom tomato & stone fruit “caprese” with Étoile Rosé, and prosciutto with compressed melon alongside Réserve Brut.
- Choice of main, each paired to perfection: Blanc Demi-Sec with California halibut ceviche, Réserve Pinot Noir Rosé with smoked salmon eggs Benedict, or Étoile Brut with a purple potato & leek frittata.
Every bite reflects the season, and every sip reminds you why CHANDON is a sparkling wine pioneer.
Why It’s a Yountville Must-Do
Between the quality of the wines, the caliber of the culinary pairings, and the sun-drenched elegance of the property, brunch at CHANDON is more than a meal, it’s a complete Napa Valley moment. Whether you’re a sparkling wine aficionado or simply looking for the perfect way to spend a Sunday in Yountville, this is an experience you’ll be talking about long after the last sip.
