What People Are Saying
“Gourmet Food and More”
This spot in downtown Napa is like Wine Country's version of the Ferry Building in San Francisco. There's a nice mix of shops and restaurants all inside one building. Make sure to grab some cupcakes from Kara's to go.
A visitor on Oxbow Public Market
“A Classic Roadside Diner”
There are two Wine Country spots—the first one in St. Helena and a newer location in downtown Napa. Burgers, shakes, and fries are perfect; definitely get the sweet potato fries. Both locals and tourists crowd in every day.
A visitor on Gott's Roadside
“Wine Country Dining At It's Best”
If you're visiting Sonoma Wine Country, you need to add the girl & the fig to your itinerary. It's definitely among the top spots in Wine Country. Excellent food in a Wine Country bistro atmosphere that feels very French. Friendly service and great cocktails at the bar. It's a popular gathering place for the LGBTQ+ community.
A visitor on Girl and the Fig
This place is definitely not a gay bar—it's about as far from LGBTQ-friendly as you can get in the area. It's a dive bar, and calling it a biker bar is much more accurate.
