The French Laundry Culinary Garden - Yountville, California

Jonathan

A stunning, impeccably maintained garden supplying the famous French Laundry kitchen. A large variety of produce is grown here. Beautiful landscaping and the organized design create a calming atmosphere. Strolling through the gardens gave an insightful glimpse into the ingredients which help this restaurant produce amazing food. If you’re in the area, I'd say that it’s a must-see. We sat on the benches and just enjoyed relaxing by the gardens. Highly recommended!

Amazing garden where the French Laundry team grows all of the greens and vegetables used in their three Michelin stars restaurant. It’s a beautiful, well kept live garden. Very inspiring

This is a relaxing, peaceful, delightful must do when in Yountville. Yes, it is the fuel for the overly expensive French Laundry Restaurant, but it is well done, maintained and cared for. They balance it with bees, flower, herbs, veggies, flower, chickens and much more. We love walking through the gardens just for down time, romantic time and grounding time... We will probably never eat at the French Laundry, I would rather donate the money to the hungry and find a good slice of pie or make my own yummy meal. These gardens are worth your time and I wish I had them in my back yard as a resource for culinary yumminess.

An essential part of the French Laundry's prestige and quality control.

How many establishments are there where you can walk across the street and see right where your meal came from.

It's humbling to see the vegetables that decorated the wagyu in its rawest form. The notion itself is like watching dirt turning into gold.

I'm especially glad that there's such a strong emphasis on growing the best produce possible since vegetables are so often overlooked in meals, but it's the bitterness and subtle sweetness from vegetables that refresh the palate or complement the heavy fatty flavors of your protein.

The garden was beautiful! We very much enjoyed an evening stroll through the variety of fruits and veggies.

Dinner at the French laundry doesn’t begin with amuse-bouche. Dinner doesn’t begin with a delightful greeting at the door. Dinner begins earlier in the day when you tour the culinary gardens and see where the food on your plate has ACTUALLY been picked from earlier in the day. It’s a beautiful sight and it compliments the meal perfectly. An absolute must see whether you are in Yountville passing through or eating at the restaurant later in the evening.

The garden is now surrounded with hedges and gate. You can no longer get in to admire the garden, green house and chicken coup. Very ?. It has been our favorite place in the area.
