Yountville: A Guide About Where To Stay, Wine and Dine

A beautiful cafe and coffee bar in Napa Valley, serving real California cuisine. While this community-centered cafe house has a total of three locations, the Southside Cafe in Yountville is the only one featuring a stunning outdoor courtyard located within the property of the Stewart Cellars and open from 8 am - 2 pm daily. Stop by for breakfast, lunch, or simply grab a coffee to go.  If you are looking for dinner and freshly blended juices then head to their sister property at Southside Century located in South Napa.

Bouchon Bistro offers French bistro fare with Thomas Kellers unfailing love to detail in both the ingredients and presentation. The flashy yet elegant restaurant is a low-fare version of the French Laundry and almost a must when visiting Yountville. Choose between the outdoor patio, the chic indoor dining room, or get it delivered right to your room at the North Block Hotel.

The French Laundry, a Thomas Keller’s three-Michelin-starred restaurant, is housed in a two-story stone cottage that used to operate as a French steam laundry, hence the name. There are two tasting menus offered (meat & vegetarian), combining the best of locally sourced ingredients with the fresh harvest from the garden. Expect visual masterpieces during each course and let your senses take in the tasteful gastronomic explosions. The restaurant is open seven nights a week for dinner, but expect to book at least 2-months in advance. Last-minute reservations can be tricky to get and almost impossible. Check Tock to snatch your online reservation. If nothing is available, make sure to join the waitlist, maybe you'll get lucky. Tip: For the full experience, we recommend arriving early enough to take a stroll through the gardens located just across the street. French Laundry also offers kitchen tours, simply ask your waiter and he will be happy to show you where the chef carefully curates his meals.
