It was a rainy Sunday afternoon in Paris, when six friends in the wine business gathered at L’Ami Louis for lunch. The unassuming style of L’Ami Louis belies the fact that it is a favorite of serious foodies. Although the restaurant prepares few items, every dish is executed simply, but to perfection. After a leisurely lunch, one of the men raised his glass in a toast, “To great wine, great food, and time to enjoy great friends.” This simple wish resonated deeply for Leslie Rudd and provided the inspiration for the creation of PRESS.

And so in the Spring of 2005, with all of Leslie Rudd’s years dedicating his life to the art of food, wine, and people; the memory of that rainy afternoon at L’Ami Louis in Paris; and his passion for the best quality ingredients, the wines of Napa Valley, and authentic artisanal craftsmanship; the vision, creation, and foundation of PRESS Restaurant had begun.

At PRESS, where the guiding principle is clarity, and the food is the purest expression of the finest ingredients, Leslie Rudd envisioned an atmosphere that was warm and inviting, yet understated enough to let the food take center stage. Designed by award-winning Architect Howard Backen, a modern farmhouse-style corrugated frame that blends with the surrounding vineyard was created. Natural light and fresh country air fill the restaurant via custom-built greenhouse paneling, framing the rolling vine-covered hillside beyond. PRESS was developed through a vision of having great food, fine wines, and good times with our family and friends. At PRESS, it is our aspiration to continue to create and share this vision with our guests while highlighting everything that the beautiful Napa Valley has to offer.

Chef Thomas Keller visited Yountville, California, in the early 1990s to find a space to fulfill a longtime culinary dream: to establish a destination for fine French cuisine in the Napa Valley. In his travels, he came across a rustic two-story stone cottage. As he walked into the restaurant’s quaint courtyard, he knew it was where he had been headed throughout his career.

The French Laundry, a 1,600 square-foot structure constructed of river rock and timbers, was built as a saloon in 1900 by a Scottish stonemason. The building later served as a residence, and during the 1920s operated as a French steam laundry. In 1978, town mayor Don Schmitt and his wife Sally renovated the structure into a restaurant, which Keller then purchased in 1994.

The menu, which changes daily, commits itself to serving classic French cuisine with the finest quality ingredients, along with a similarly intense focus on impeccable guest service.

Having celebrated its silver anniversary in July 2019, The French Laundry has received numerous honors and accolades over the past twenty five years. Since 2007, the Michelin Guide has awarded The French Laundry their highest rating of three stars, making Chef Thomas Keller the only American-born chef to have two three-starred Michelin restaurants. The James Beard Foundation gave The French Laundry the highly coveted “Outstanding Restaurant Award” and awarded Chef Thomas Keller “Outstanding Restaurateur” in 2007. Since 2007, the restaurant has been the recipient of the Wine Spectator Grand Award.

The French Laundry is a member of French-based Relais & Chateaux, Relais Gourmands and Traditions & Qualité; organizations recognized for their dedication to maintaining the highest international standards for hospitality and culinary excellence.
