This dream destination for wine lovers has an abundance of fine restaurants and inns. Horse posts have been replaced by bike racks, and pedal power is a great way to explore.

From the walk through the farmers market, where we met local farmers, bakers and cheese makers who taught us about their products and farms, to the actual cooking of an amazing meal, better than many resteraunt meals, I could not recommend this experience more! They created this class even though we were only three people, and Chef Francis had an easy way to teach us how to make a delicious, nutrious, and totally fun meal. Large kitchen, very close to the town of Napa. Simply Great!

While there are some mixed reviews here, we had a great experience at the CIA at Copia, located right near the Oxbow Market. We went to the restaurant with slightly different expectations, having visited the Rhinebeck location of the CIA many times. Unlike Rhinebeck (and apparently the CIA location in St. Helena) the hostess described this restaurant as "professionally run" rather than student run. This was a bit disappointing since we really like the experience of interacting with the students (and the fixed price menu). The servers and chefs here are young, perhaps CIA grads? We started with a shared appetizer, the Delicata squash, served with a spicy yogurt sauce (it could have used more salt). It was good, the sauce perhaps a bit spicy for my palate. My main was the rockfish, made with a curry sauce and cauliflower on the side. It was done perfectly and tasty. My husband declared his pork chop the best he's had in recent memory. Service was friendly and attentive. Many wine offerings, although the local wines are pricey at about $16 a glass we opted for that. By the end of the meal we were too full for dessert, although it looked like some nice options. Our bill, minus tip, was $116 of two mains and a appetizer, so it's fine dining. The atmosphere is modern. The restaurant was less crowded on a Saturday than expected, but perhaps it's the time of year. While I'd definitely recommend the CIA at Copia, just be sure you know it's not student run. High quality and relaxing, but there is something nice about interacting with the students that you may miss here.

10. Golf Somm
A hospitality-driven unique personal experience led by a Certified Sommelier in the heart of wine country. An exploration of Golf & Wine that transcends the common tourist experience -- all with a sense of humor. Golf Somm offers a Full Day tour that in includes vineyard golf and VIP winery tour. The 1/2 Day tour includes golf, green-side tasting, and blind tasting with lunch. At it's core, Golf Somm is driven by four principle passions: Golf, Wine , Hospitality , and History. Golf Somm creates experiences for guests who want to explore their passions in new and splendid locations. It is for those who want an inimitable experience that is created specifically for them and cannot be bought from a menu or package. It is for those who want to be accompanied by a person in a less personal age, and find a connection to place. I look forward to hosting casual tourists, honeymooners, retirees, business travelers, corporate groups, locals and everyone in between.
