Places to Eat, Things to Do
Explore The Resort
Explore the Vino Bello, Meritage, and Vista Collina resort. Visit Spa Terra at Meritage, relax at the two resort pools, go bowling at Crush Lounge, or explore the 8 winery & brewery tasting rooms at Vista Collina
Castello di Amorosa
A winery built into a 13th-century style castle. Not to be missed
Sterling Vineyards
Large winery with a scenic chairlift ride. Across the street from Castella Di Amorosa
Chateau Montelena Winery
The winery that put Napa on the map. Chateau Montalena's Chardonnay won the 1976 Judgement of Paris, beating out 8 other french white wines
Frog's Leap Winery
Reservations recommended. Lin's favorite winery: a charming main house with a wrap around porch., beautiful gardens. Pro tip: they offer a tasting of Dry sodas for non-wine drinkers.
Napa Valley Wine Train
The Napa Valley Wine Train offers an authentic, memorable experience that echoes the glory days of train travel, with fine dining service, multiple course meals, Napa Valley scenery and ultimate relaxation aboard an exquisitely restored vintage train. Expert advice: the best deal on the wine train is through Costco! Link below

Oxbow Public Market
A sprawling marketplace featuring local food vendors, produce, and shops. Our favorite stops include Hog Island Oysters, Five Dot Ranch, and the Cheese and Wine Merchant.
Mustards Grill
Howie's favorite Napa spot. A former truck stop, now new American-California fare. Big pork chops and steaks.

Zuzu
Casual and delicious tapas restaurant
The Charter Oak

Miminashi
Japanese food in Napa? Yes please. Miminashi has an extensive menu, including yakitori (grilled chicken).

Bouchon Bistro
One of Thomas Keller’s most popular spots, not to be confused with Bouchon Bakery next door

Yountville
The quintessential stroll: start at the French Laundry and explore its gardens, walk down to V Marketplace to peruse art and chocolate, grab a goodie from Bouchon Bakery, and end at Ad Hoc, where we'll be hosting the wedding.
