I appreciated this beautiful spot that Chef Thomas Keller has created, and I recommend you take a relaxing stroll through it while visiting Yountville. I found the bee areas to be fascinating as they not only pollinated the plants in the garden but provided honey for the different dishes.Īfter about 30 minutes of exploring, I walked out of the garden and on to my next adventure. There is also a chicken coup where they gather farm fresh eggs for the dishes and a few different bee areas around the property. I enjoyed seeing the care that was put into bringing these seeds to life, and there was so much color in this area from the different plants. In the north part of the garden, there is a greenhouse where they are growing all of the seedlings that will be eventually be planted amount the plots. The garden has grass paths in between the different plots, and they are all intricately manicured to provide a calming experience to the visitor. The map allows you to make a mental note of the crops as you wander around and take it in. The gardens have a lovely rock walkway in the middle that leads to a map that shows what is currently growing. I have even heard of people who have visited the garden and met Thomas Keller himself while walking through it, but I have not had that opportunity when I have gone. I would recommend visiting this garden near sunset as the light adds a beautiful tone to the garden. There is parking along the street that you can use. The gardens are located on Washington St, the Main Street in Yountville, right across from The French Laundry.

This information is from my visit in 2016.Location: 6639 Washington St, Yountville, CA 94599 But in the 1800s, FDs were made popular by a lawyer named Henry French, hence the title 'French drains.' His version of the FD comprised roofing tiles in the trenches to allow for drainage.I highly recommend you check it out, and here is all the info. I have never eaten there myself, but when I visit Yountville, I love to go across the street from this famed spot and explore the public gardens where they grow a lot of the vegetables that they use in the food.
