Napa Valley Wine Tasting
If you're coming to Napa, you've got to try our wine! We'll plan a wine tasting day for our guests to opt into (see the events page), but if you'd like to venture out on your own, we encourage you to do so! Make sure to make tasting reservations well in advance (tastings are often booked out 6-8 weeks ahead) and don't try to taste at more than two-to-three wineries per day!
Tour Downtown Napa
Downtown Napa has great shops, restaurants, and wine tasting salons. Spend an afternoon walking around and enjoying our little city-center by the Napa River.
Oxbow Public Market
Visit the fun vendors for food, books, wine, and other gifts.
Boon Fly Café
Great for brunch; don’t miss their famous sugar mini-donuts
Gott's Roadside
Gott's is a Bay Area staple for burgers and shakes. With two convenient locations, one in downtown Napa and one in St. Helena, this is a great place for a quick bite.
Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch
A great restaurant up valley for any meal of the day. Make sure to make advance reservations!
Pizzeria Tra Vigne
A great spot for pizza and salad! No reservation required. Make sure you order the fresh-pulled mozzarella - it's an off-menu secret specialty!
Goose & Gander
Great food and a great setting in St. Helena.
Ad Hoc
This Thomas Keller restaurant is all about creating the feeling that you're having a home-cooked meal. Fried chicken and confetti cake are continuously on the daily-rotating menu. Make sure to grab a reservation in advance and consider the wine pairing.
Lagunitas Brewing Company
Tired of all the wine? Take a beautiful drive through the Carneros region, grab a beer (or a few), and some lunch!
Day Trip: Bodega Bay
Take a day trip to Bodega Bay. See the beautiful seaside cliffs of California, eat the fresh-caught seafood, and stop in the local shops for some saltwater taffy.

San Francisco is about an hour's drive from Napa. Take a day trip to cruise over the Golden Gate Bridge, shop in Union Square, have lunch at the Ferry Building, drive down Lombard Street, snap photos of the Painted Ladies, and go for a stroll in Golden Gate Park. Don't forget your jacket! SF is known for its fog.
