Winter in Napa Valley has its own kind of magic. The mornings are crisp, the fog drifts low through the vines, and the Toyon berries turn the hillsides bright red. That’s where my inspiration starts. My Christmas table takes its cue from what’s outside my door – fresh greens, natural texture, and just enough sparkle to feel special.

I layer real and lifelike branches, so the greens stay full, add pears for warmth, and let candlelight do the rest. It’s simple, welcoming, and meant to feel gathered, not staged.
