While working in a small resturant in Provence Jill fell in love with the olive oil, lavender and honey of the south of France. Last year she discovered the Rock Hill Estates in the Napa Valley which produces exceptional organic products using sustainable farming methods. They have lavender pillows, stuffed teddy bears , a whole array of wonderful items for gift giving in addition to their culinary products.

This is one of our favorite artisans in the Napa Valley! No he doesn't have a restaurant or a winery but he certainly knows where they all are! Tab has been a 'Napan' all his life and knows the valley inside and out. He restores 1947 Packard's that are exquisitely appointed. Travel through the valley in style on a glorious day of winery visits. You will meet Tab on all of our tours or may engage him on your own. Jill was treated to a tour of the valley last Autumn with Tab as her escort. Jill and Tab became instant friends with Jill using his services on all of her weeklong or weekend tours.

Founder of Ecco Bella, Sally Malanga, has created a products(s) that is amazing. She began her business in her garage striving to create an all natural product! Mission accomplished as she has a varoety of all natural, no animal tested products. She invented a room spray that smells so good you will think you are stolling through a Florida orange grove. She created the scent using natural oils of the orange. There is no obnoxious chemical smell partially masked by sickening chemically grown flower smells but rather an amazing scent of fresh orange zest, one of my favorite scents in the kitchen. This prodect is light years ahead of those nasty grocery store spray cans. In addition it lasts forever, over 2,000 sprays per bottle. I have not tried the other scents but assure you that the citrus is amazing. So on day when your saute of salmon is lingering in your home beyond dinner use Ecco Bella Orange!
