Best winery visits in napa tv#
If you’re still hungry (or just perennially hungry), grab a quick burger at Platform 8, opened in December by the chef and TV personality Michael Chiarello. Then walk over to another Yountville classic, V Marketplace, an enclosed market with cobblestone walkways and shops selling local goods and art. You may not have a reservation at Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry (spots are almost impossible to come by) but you can admire the restaurant’s famous vegetable gardens across the street. Yountville may be the most picturesque small town in the valley, with its pruned trees and brick buildings housing boutiques, bakeries and Michelin-starred restaurants. Some travelers stayed away in the aftermath of the fires, but the valley was soon back on its feet, flaunting a more dynamic and fashionable face than ever. The majority of Napa’s wineries and vineyards (which served as firebreaks) were spared. This wave of renewal was delayed in October, when deadly wildfires burned across the North Coast. Along with a cluster of century-old palazzos and chateaus, the area features a growing array of contemporary tasting rooms, hotels, spas and food establishments, many of them opened or refurbished within the last two years. As the first and only Agricultural Preserve in the United States, and the first officially designated viticultural area, this small section of Northern California harbors some of the most hallowed wineries and restaurants in the country. Napa Valley, a delightful landscape of wildflowers and grapevines spread across miles of rolling hills, has been immortalized in film, literature and European wine competitions.
