Put your object
in front of the valley.

A small number of makers, chosen carefully. Our readers furnish houses, not carts.

Napa Curator readers plan their lives around Napa Valley. They buy once and buy well. If your object belongs in their houses, there are three ways to work with us.

Editorial consideration

Send the product. We live with it. If it earns a place, it gets the full feature: a web review with original photography, an Instagram feature, and the Recommended mark. Free. No guarantees, no pre-approval, no edits. Read the review policy first.

Sponsored feature

A native feature produced to our standard and plainly labeled as a partner. The production values of editorial, the honesty of disclosure. It never carries the Recommended mark and never appears in the guide.

The Recommended mark

Products that earn the mark may license it for packaging, retail, and advertising. An annual license, per product. It is the only thing here with a price, and no price buys the verdict.

What a feature includes

Original photography in a real interior. A written review with a real verdict. An Instagram feature to our audience. Optional video, shot on location.

Questions, answered

How do we submit a product?

Use the form below. Tell us what it is, why it exists, and where to send it.

How long does a review take?

Four to six weeks of living with it, then production. We do not rush verdicts.

Can we pay for a recommendation?

No. The mark is earned through review and is never for sale; nothing editorial is.
