Hestan, the culinary brand that includes Hestan Cookware, Hestan Appliances and Hestan Vineyard, announced the debut of its first-ever brand store in the heart of Napa Valley, Calif. Opening to the public on Saturday, November 22, 2025, Hestan Napa is a culinary destination like no other, inviting guests to experience the Hestan brand in-person for the first time.
Located at 1300 First Street, Suite 291 and designed to celebrate the intersection of craftsmanship, innovation and hospitality, Hestan Napa aims to bring the world of Hestan together under one roof.
The retail experience will feature award-winning Italian cookware, Hestan Appliances made in America, wine from Hestan Vineyards and a restaurant with dishes from Michelin-star Chef Mark Dommen. The restaurant will be open Thursday through Monday for lunch, with the retail space open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for guests to shop Hestan’s premium cookware collections and view Hestan residential appliances and outdoor grills.
Hestan Napa will be led by general manager Stanley Morris, leading the team and overseeing daily operations. With 35 years of experience across renowned establishments including Stars Restaurants, Il Fornaio, Sightglass Coffee, Teatro ZinZanni and New Zealand’s Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses, Morris is known for elevating hospitality standards and creating exceptional guest experiences.
“The opening of Hestan Napa marks an exciting new chapter for our brand,” said Stanley Cheng, CEO and chairman of Meyer Corporation. “We wanted to create a place that embodies Hestan’s values and invites guests to experience our brand in a more personal way. We are so excited to welcome Napa locals and visitors, community members and culinary enthusiasts to share in what we have built.”
Stepping into the Hestan Napa space, guests are immediately immersed in a visually striking yet inviting environment designed by celebrated interior designer Kerrie Kelly of Kerrie Kelly Studios. The design balances sleek modernity with natural warmth. Layered textures, rich finishes and clean architectural lines guide the eye and encourage effortless movement throughout the space.
Light flows naturally, highlighting key design elements and creating a sense of openness and calm. Every corner feels intentional. From the welcoming entry to the elegantly appointed seating areas, the space is designed to make guests feel both inspired and at ease. With space for accommodating up to 60 guests, the brand store includes areas for private events, tastings and exclusive culinary gatherings throughout the year.
At Hestan Napa, excellence in the kitchen begins with the chef. The brand is honored to welcome Dommen as executive chef. A Michelin-star chef and Napa Valley local, Dommen brings more than two decades of experience and a deep-rooted passion for seasonal California cuisine. Known for his tenure at San Francisco’s acclaimed One Market Restaurant, which concluded a celebrated 32-year run in June 2025, Dommen honed his craft under culinary greats including Hubert Keller, Gray Kunz, David Burke and Jean-Louis Palladin.
These formative experiences shaped his hallmark approach — classical precision balanced with inventive, ingredient-driven cooking. As a Napa Valley resident and leader in modern American cuisine, Dommen embodies the spirit of Hestan, merging Michelin-caliber technique with innovation and artistry.
Chef Dommen will bring this philosophy to life through a seasonally inspired menu that celebrates the bounty of Napa Valley and surrounding regions, prepared on Hestan Commercial Appliances and served in Hestan cookware. His dishes elevate simple, local ingredients through refined French and European techniques, creating plates that are both thoughtful and full of flavor. Each course will be expertly paired with Hestan Vineyard wines, crafted by acclaimed wine-makers Thomas Rivers Brown and Jeff Gafner, offering guests a complete expression of Hestan’s culinary and viticultural excellence.
Beyond the restaurant, a dedicated retail space showcases the full range of Hestan Culinary collections, including NanoBond, ProBond Forged, ProBond Luxe, Thomas Keller Insignia, OvenBond, Provisions and more. Guests can explore Hestan’s award-winning Italian-made cookware in person, experiencing the craftsmanship, design, and performance that define the brand.
All cookware will be available to purchase at the store, in addition to a full product catalog available for drop shipping throughout the United States. The on-site cookware concierge will offer personalized guidance and assist guests in selecting pieces that best suit their culinary style. Guests will also be able to see and purchase Hestan appliances and outdoor grills, which will be displayed both inside and outside Hestan Napa. In addition, future demos and events with chef partners, such as celebrity chef Tyler Florence, will take place at Hestan Napa.
Guests can further deepen their experience by tasting or sampling Hestan Vineyard wines, featuring estate-grown, limited-production varietals that capture the essence of Napa Valley terroir. In addition to the Hestan Vineyard Tasting Room in Yountville, Calif., these tastings, offered within the Hestan Napa space, reflect the brand’s deep connection to winemaking craftsmanship and hospitality.
