The World's Most Famous Wine Table
Napa is where the world comes to drink its best wine and eat at its most ambitious tables. The French Laundry is a 30-minute drive. The Cabernet Sauvignon is extraordinary. The restaurant scene is simply world-class.
Downtown Napa has been transformed in the past decade by the First Street Napa development and significant restaurant investment. The city now has a genuine restaurant and bar scene that serves both visitors and a growing community of year-round residents who demand quality everyday dining.
Beyond downtown, the Napa Valley stretching north through Yountville, St. Helena, and Calistoga is lined with winery restaurants, farm stands, and destination dining that makes the entire valley a multi-day culinary adventure.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is among the world's finest wines — and tasting rooms throughout the valley offer access to wines that are poured nowhere else.
Michelin Star Dining

The valley's agriculture — Napa walnuts, mustard greens, stone fruit, and heritage livestock — provides extraordinary ingredients to local restaurants.
