Preferred Restaurants

Top recommended restaurant experiences by location in Napa Valley

Here’s a curated selection of my favorite dining spots that offer not just casual or fine cuisine, but also a premium culinary experience, whether you're indulging in high-end dishes or simply seeking good food. Restaurant experiences are inherently subjective, shaped by your personal tastes and budget, but I’ll do my best to highlight the places that have won over my discerning palate. If a venue isn’t mentioned, it simply doesn’t make the cut—it's that straightforward.


I’ve categorized them into:

Napa central/downtown, Yountville, and 'Up Valley' - Rutherford, St. Helena & Calistoga.
