I am so excited. BERNINA of America and Meissner Sewing have come on board to help sponsor CRAFT NAPA 2016 in January!
Meissner Sewing is providing sewing machines for student use, and also generously donating a brand new sewing machine for our premiere wine blending event: Blend Your Own Vintage Night! At this event that promises a lot of laughs, participants will be put into teams, and a sommelier will help guide the teams to create a unique blend. Judges will then select the favorite blend, which will be bottled overnight, and all participants will take home a bottle of CRAFT NAPA wine! (And one lucky participant will win a new BERNINA sewing machine!)
Meissner will also have sewing machines for sale at CRAFT NAPA at a very reasonable price, so if you’ve been thinking about getting a new machine, here’s your chance! They will also have the BERNINA Q 24 long arm on hand to play on during the entire retreat and during open sewing times.
I am really excited with how this retreat is coming together! For more information on CRAFT NAPA, mosey over to the Craft Napa site to learn more!
Hi Pokey, thank you for the update on the event in Napa, I am attending with a friend . I am wondering what is being done for meals. I have not seen anything pertaining to food or restaurants. Please respond.
Thank you
Hi Patti! Glad you will be joining us! All registered hotel guests have breakfast included, a made-to-order hot breakfast, which having been a guest there myself, is excellent. Lunches and dinners are separate from the workshops, and that is why there is a two-hour break in the middle of the day so people can enjoy some of the restaurants downtown. There is also a restaurant onsite at the Embassy Suites. A free cocktail hour with hot appetizers is also available nightly at the hotel for guests. There will be food offerings (appetizers) at the Blend Your Own Vintage Competition for those registered. In early December, a newsletter will be going out to all registered Craft Napa students, with suggestions for eating and tasting rooms in the area. I hope you can get there by Wednesday late afternoon. The Opening Reception will be a lot of fun, and we have a pretty big surprise in store!
