Where to Eat

A dining destination for locals, winemakers, and visitors for more than 15 years, PRESS Restaurant has earned a Michelin star. In other food news, Forum at Meadowood (which garnered a double five-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide) utilizes ingredients from its on-site farm and local purveyors.

Stave off morning hunger with an enormous, and iconic, English muffin from Model Bakery or a perfectly crafted espresso from The Station. The Garden Lounge + Café at Farmstead serves a to-go menu of breakfast sandwiches, coffee, pastries, and parfaits.

And for lunch, you can’t go wrong with a visit to Gott’s Roadside – order a burger, fries, and hand-spun shake. For more elevated fare, snag a table at The Charter Oak, or settle in at Violetto at Alila Napa Valley, located in a restored farmhouse, or enjoy pre-dinner drinks at Goose & Gander.

Where to Drink

Pay homage to Napa Valley wine history at Beringer Vineyards, the valley’s oldest continuously operating winery. At Louis M. Martini Winery, tour the 85-year-old underground barrel cellar and sip small-lot releases and library wines.

Enjoy a picnic lunch with a bottle of wine at V. Sattui Winery, or book a private food and wine tasting at Clif Family Enoteca. Tour HALL Wines’ modern art collection, which includes a 35-foot stainless steel bunny at the property entrance, before your tasting.

At Charles Krug Winery, enjoy the view and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc at the renovated outdoor area, with private cabanas and lawn games. Stop by the buzzy Erosion Tap House for house-made wine, beer, food, and ice cream right in the middle of downtown.
