Autumn in Napa Valley Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Artessa Winery Photo - Napa Valley, California
Quote:
Wine country in general is absolutely a great place to visit, even if you don't like wine all that much. We visited Napa Valley and the town of Sonoma on our trip. Napa Valley was so beautiful we will be going back. The autumn color was beautiful (and I'm from New England). The wineries themselves are all so different, it's hard to choose. We ended up just stopping at the ones that looked prettiest! Besides wine, they have great boutique-type areas with original gifts from the area and some have great food! This area is definitely worth more than a day trip.Quick Tips: Staying in Napa Valley or Sonoma Valley is key to enjoying the area. You can't really see enough in just one day. I ...Read More

V. Sattui Winery Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
V. Sattui isn't really a restaurant, it is a large gourmet shop with multitudes of cheeses, breads, meats, snacks and prepared foods. There are picnic tables outside to eat at - the gardens are beautiful. They will sell you anything needed for an awesome picnic lunch.

Downtown Joe's Brewery and Restaurant Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Downtown Joe's"

Quote:
Although it looks unassuming and more of a common bar than a place for good food, Downtown Joe's is worth a stop. The fish and chips is unbelievable! Sloppy joes are also great. The portions here are huge so you can even share with your companions.

Brix Restaurant Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Brix"

Quote:
Brix has a great atmosphere and the menu looks great, but it is a typical "fine dining" restaurant. The prices are high, the portions are small and the waitstaff is pretentious. The food was good, but not incredible. Considering all the choices in the valley, they could do better. There is a small gift shop that is worth a stop in.
