Eat, Taste, Think, Shop, and Cook Like a Chef

There is so much to taste and sip and learn at the Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant! Whether you have 30 minutes or several hours, you'll discover a new flavor or special regional food, enjoy a story from one of our students, or learn a bit more about the lively world of food and wine.

New! Oysters Alfresco
Master oysterman Michael Watchorne, a founder of Hog Island Oysters in Tomales Bay, brings his oyster extravaganza to the spectacular vineyard-view terrace at Greystone, starting Wednesday, August 4th and continuing every Wednesday until the end of October. There will be slurping, sipping and siding up to Michael's raw oyster bar, as well as a wine and beer bar with special winery guests. A briny and refreshing way to end the day or start the evening.

In addition to oyster bar mania, we'll have a small menu of classic oyster accompaniments: french fries, sourdough baguettes, and Bibb lettuce salad to name a few. All this in addition to our regular menu.

Wednesday evenings from 5 to 9 p.m. No reservations required. For more information, please call 707-967-1010.

Green Plate Special
In a sustainable play on the blue plate special theme, our chefs bring their culinary inspiration to food that comes through our kitchen door from regional waters, farms and food producers. Local, artisanal, what is most ripe and ready that day is crafted into meals that bring Northern California fields and farms and the cold, briny Pacific Ocean to your table for fleeting moments in time before, puff, the shifting seasons move on.

Greystone's Green Plate Special will always be under $20, $1 of which benefits the Student Gardens at Greystone.

Offered for both lunch and dinner, Monday through Thursday.

5 Bites + 1 Glass of Wine = $10
Try our wine-centric take on a wine country happy hour: for just $10, we'll serve you five small bites and a glass of wine. Gather your group for a relaxing way to end the day or start the evening.

Offered between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

OliveToLive
We're the only restaurant in the country to offer the OliveToLive super-premium olive oil tasting. For only $9 (for two), you'll take a culinary tour of the world's finest olive oils, with tasting cards to accompany each oil and a brochure explaining just what makes an olive oil "super-premium." You can also order select menu items to experience how these oils can influence the flavor of food.
