I would try the Gatehouse Restaurant at the Culinary Institute in the north part of St. Helena. They split the graduating class - 1st semester, half of the class are front of house, half are in the kitchen, 2nd semester they switch. You don't want to go during the first few weeks of semester as it's all new to them, but otherwise the food is great, you can buy or take your own wine, and the students are very keen and interested and interesting. We have been several times and would absolutely go anytime we are in Napa/Sonoma.
