Delicious Winter Menus at La Toque Feature Black Truffles and French Delights
Offered in January: Two limited-time culinary experiences highlight French inspiration, peak-season ingredients, and Napa Valley Restaurant Month
La Toque, a beloved Napa Valley premier fine-dining restaurant known for French-inspired cuisine and an acclaimed wine program, kicks off the new year with two headline-worthy seasonal dining experiences. The All Black Winter Truffle Menu, and its fully vegetarian truffle tasting option, returns for its winter run, showcasing peak-season black truffles.
At the same time, La Toque introduces a limited-edition “Tour de France” tasting series created in celebration of Napa Valley Restaurant Month, inviting guests to explore regional French flavors through a curated multi-course menu and wine pairings.
La Toque’s All Black Winter Truffle Menu continues to be one of Napa Valley’s most sought-after culinary traditions. The multi-course experience showcases one of the world’s most treasured ingredients: fresh black truffles. Each thoughtfully composed dish highlights the truffle’s earthy aroma, layered flavor, and remarkable depth, presented at the absolute height of the season.
Now in its 44th season, La Toque’s All Black Winter Truffle Menu is a multi-course celebration of one of the world’s most treasured ingredients. Each dish is created to let fresh black truffles take the lead, highlighting their character at peak season. Offered January 7–25, 2026, the menu features truffles from trusted growers and is prepared without truffle oils or artificial flavorings, a hallmark of Chef Ken Frank’s commitment to honest, ingredient-driven cooking.
The menu progresses course by course and includes artichoke soup with fresh black truffle; Ora King salmon cooked sous vide paired with sunchoke, wild mushrooms and black truffle sabayon; stinging nettle berlingots with ricotta, duck confit, and black trumpets.
During the winter truffle season, the All Black Winter Truffle Menu takes the place of the Chef’s Tasting Menu, with optional wine pairings thoughtfully curated from La Toque’s acclaimed cellar. The Truffle Menu is $295, the Vegetarian Truffle Menu is $200, and wine pairings are available for $125 per person.
“Tour de France” Tasting Menus
As part of Napa Valley Restaurant Month, La Toque also introduces a rotating series of four-course “Tour de France” tasting menus, available January 7 through January 31, 2026. Designed exclusively by the La Toque culinary team, each week explores a different French region and drawing inspiration from Provence, Lyon, Normandie, and beyond.
Thoughtfully priced at $75 per person, the menus offer guests an accessible way to experience regional French flavors through La Toque’s seasonal, ingredient-driven lens. Optional wine pairings are available, and guests should select the Napa Valley Restaurant Month menu when booking.
“January allows us to celebrate what inspires us most,” says Chef Ken Frank. “Our All Black Winter Truffle Menu honors one of the great treasures of the culinary world, while our ‘Tour de France’ menus invite guests to travel with us through France’s traditions and flavors, all right here in Napa Valley.”
Reservations for both seasonal experiences are limited, and advance booking is highly recommended, visit latoque.com to book reservations.
