No matter your craving—from floats to truffles to rooftop scoops—Downtown Napa is a dessert-lover’s paradise. Come hungry, leave happy.

A Downtown Napa favorite, Oxbow Public Market is a hub of local flavor and summertime sweets. Live Fire Pizza serves up nostalgic dessert vibes with root beer floats and hot fudge sundaes, or enjoy a taste of aloha with scoops of Lappert’s premium ice cream. 

In the heart of Downtown Napa, Anette’s Chocolates is a must-visit for confectionery lovers. Alongside ice cream, you’ll find artisan truffles, wine sauces, beer brittles, and more. Build your dream sundae with caramel sauce, marshmallows, crunchy toffee, and mini chocolate chips.

Think Sky & Vine is just for cocktails? Think again. Located atop the Archer Hotel Napa, this scenic rooftop bar surprises with a rotating selection of ice cream flavors (dairy and non-dairy) and a generous toppings bar featuring more than a dozen options. Dessert with a panoramic view? Yes, please.

Nestled in the Historic Napa Mill, Vintage Sweet Shoppe blends nostalgic charm with indulgent delights. Enjoy ice cream alongside house-made candies—and don’t miss their signature chocolate-dipped wine bottles for a one-of-a-kind treat.

Sometimes, you just crave the classics. The locally owned Ben & Jerry’s in Downtown Napa brings the iconic brand’s fan favorites to life—scooped fresh and ready to enjoy as you stroll through downtown.

In Yountville, where world-class wine and culinary experiences reign supreme, don’t forget to add a deliciously decadent stop to your itinerary.

Kollar Chocolates doesn’t stop at chocolate. They also offer house-made ice cream and gelato, the perfect pairing to their sweet creations. Whether you're craving a scoop or a signature truffle, this charming boutique is a must-visit for anyone with a taste for the extraordinary.

Tucked into a charming converted gas station, Honor Market Yountville is a low-key gem with high-quality flavor. Their Straus organic milk soft serve is the star of the show—served in a cone or cup and even better with a drizzle of rich chocolate sauce (trust us, you want it).

Don’t let the name fool you—Madeline’s Macaroons is serving up far more than just their signature sweet treats. This charming Yountville spot has quickly become a local favorite for its colorful macarons, yes, but also for its brunch menu, crepes, and coffee that make it the perfect all-day stop. And here’s the delicious twist: Madeline’s uses the leftover egg yolks from their macaron-making magic to create rich, velvety frozen custard. It's sustainability meets indulgence—and it’s absolutely worth a visit.

There’s no better way to cap off a day of wine tasting—or kick off a casual afternoon—than with a scoop of something sweet. St. Helena serves up some of Napa Valley’s most unexpected and delightful frozen treats. Here are our favorite spots to indulge:

A beloved classic, Gott’s Roadside is the original outpost of this iconic eatery (you’ll also find a location in Downtown Napa). What sets the St. Helena spot apart? Its expansive backyard lawn — perfect for families or anyone who wants to enjoy an ice cream cone under the sun. Insider tip: After your meal, skip the main line and head to the small counter at the back that faces the yard. It’s a hidden gem where you can order ice cream—or even another glass of wine or beer—with hardly a wait.

Valley Café – European-Style Gelato & More: Step into Valley Café and you might just discover what locals call “the best gelato in Napa Valley.” Pair a cup (or two) of their rich, creamy gelato with an expertly brewed espresso, a panini, or a stone-baked flatbread pizza. It’s a perfect stop for a leisurely bite with European flair.

Where else can you sample craft beer and wine and finish with a scoop of house-made ice cream? At Erosion, the inventive flavors are as memorable as the concept. Try “Campfire,” a smoked ice cream swirled with toasted marshmallows, or “Rice Rice Baby,” a horchata-inspired treat layered with warm cinnamon flavor. It’s not your average dessert—because this isn’t your average tasting room.

At V. Sattui Winery, the wine may be award-winning, but the desserts hold their own. Their house-made gelato and sorbetto are available daily from a dedicated cooler inside the bustling Marketplace. Each flavor is crafted to complement the winery’s varietals, making it a sweet way to end—or elevate—your tasting experience.

If you’re heading up-valley to Calistoga, don’t miss the chance to explore its charming cafés and sweet spots. Whether you're in the mood for organic ice cream, an espresso boost, or a mid-afternoon float, Calistoga offers a little something for everyone. Here’s where to go when the cravings hit:

A beloved stop in downtown Calistoga, Calistoga Creamery is all about quality ingredients and handcrafted goodness. Their all-organic ice cream is served in house-made waffle cones (baked fresh daily!), with a gluten-free cone option that’s just as tasty. Vegan ice cream fans, you’re covered too—with several dairy-free flavors always on hand. Not in the mood for a scoop? Try their frozen yogurt, a custom milkshake, or a classic root beer float for a little old-school indulgence.

In the heart of town, Mis Raices is part coffee shop, part ice cream parlor, and 100% Calistoga charm. Start with an affogato (espresso over ice cream—pure bliss) or keep the energy going with one of their Red Bull infusions for a fun, fizzy alternative to your usual caffeine fix.

Known for its burgers and shakes, Gott’s Roadside also delivers on adult-friendly refreshments. Alongside its crave-worthy soft-serve and thick milkshakes, the standout is their frosé—a frosty blend of strawberry, citrus, and rosé wine that hits just the right notes of sweet and tart. It's a summer must, especially when enjoyed in the sunshine at their St. Helena or Napa locations.

Set at the front of Oxbow Public Market in Downtown Napa, Bar Lucia serves up a stylish spin on the classic frosé. Choose from strawberry or blackberry, and elevate your experience with a sparkling wine or 21Seeds tequila float. It’s the perfect drink for people-watching from their chic outdoor deck, where the vibe is always vibrant.

It’s frosé season at Jessup Cellars. Their signature pink drink will be flowing Thursday-Sunday, Noon-6pm, all through August. No reservations, no stress – just show up and chill.

For an out-of-this-world frozen cocktail, head to The Charter Oak in St. Helena. Their signature Space Age Frosé blends rosé, Grey Goose vodka, and fresh lemon—served with the option of an Aperol float for an extra layer of flavor. Sip it slowly while enjoying the ambiance of their gorgeous courtyard, especially during golden hour or happy hour.

Whether you're winding down after wine tasting or just looking to cool off in style, these boozy frozen treats offer a delicious reason to raise a (frosty) glass. Cheers to summer in Napa Valley!
