Let’s Gather
Welcome to my authentic Napa Valley life!
I’m Karen Crouse — Vintner, Grower, Entrepreneur, and Tastemaker. My husband and I have called this beautiful region home for over 30 years.
I’m excited to invite you behind the scenes into our vineyard and farmhouse, where I’ll share my passion for cooking, decorating, and entertaining. Each idea is designed for you to recreate with effortless elegance in your own home.
For me, it’s all about unforgettable gatherings, and I’m obsessed with the details. I don’t just decorate — I curate spaces using a mix of one-of-a-kind treasures and affordable finds to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
I’m thrilled to have you join this online community! My goal is to inspire, entertain, and guide you toward effortless success in everything you do. I can’t wait to share the magic of Napa Valley and my favorite resources with you.
Wishing you joy wherever you gather. Cheers!
