50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Rutherford

“My friends and I stopped in yesterday afternoon for a tasting and were blown away by the hospitality we received from the staff. The staff that served us were James and Noemmi. Noemmi and James were very attentive and hospitable. The wines we sampled were amazing and showed a true testament to the diversity of the Napa valley wine experience. I highly recommend if you’re looking to try some amazing Napa Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and an amazing Cabernet Franc which often isn’t thought of in Napa!“

“It was raining when we visited so they set us up on the porch of the main building, which I LOVED. They had the heaters going and offered a cozy blanket. We were allowed to walk literally anywhere we wanted which was such a cool experience to see the bottling process and the cellar. All wines were delish and the staff was so friendly and attentive, especially Angela and Jeff(?). Would recommend!“

“This was our second visit to Honig. The first time, a friend introduced us, and we enjoyed the wine and the environment. As part of our anniversary weekend, we decided to return, and we’re so glad we did. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly. Our host (we’re so mad at ourselves for forgetting her name!) was wonderful, knowledgeable, engaging, and generous enough to give us a quick tour of the vineyard. We weren’t expecting that, but it made our visit truly memorable to see the vines up close. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in wine country!“

“My fiancé and I just got engaged at Inglenook. The wine was incredible! Thank you for making it an unforgettable weekend, Kim. Kim did our wine tasting for us and gave us a tour of the beautiful property. This chateau is definitely one you want to visit. Request Kim. She’s great, enthusiastic and all around a great tour guide. Thank you Inglenook, you will forever be a part of our lives!“

“I don’t want to leave a five star review because I want to keep this little gem of a winery to myself!
I have been a member for over five years, and every time we visit is even better than the last. The property is beautiful, the staff is phenomenal, and I have never tasted a wine there I don’t like. I often give bottle sets as gifts and love introducing people to this winery-it never disappoints!“

“Delightful staff. Delish food. Impeccable service!“

“Rutherford was one of my favorite wineries in the region. The views were stunning and Chris was a wonderful guide and true connoisseur. He shared a wealth of information and was extremely helpful throughout the entire visit. I would happily return anytime.“

“The food was absolutely amazing. Service was great too“

“Excellent food, atmosphere and great place to eat before wine tasting! ❤️“

“Excellent resturant would recommend highly and will be back again.“

“Sequoia Grove winery is basically a home away from home. I’ve been going to this place for close to 10 years. I absolutely !!!LOVE!!! it. Every time I go there, they treat you like a family member. Almost every employee is super nice, accommodating and they provide world class customer service! I truly mean this. I love their wine, I go there because I get the magical experience with it. It really feels like I’m going to a family summer house somewhere in the Mediterranean. I go for the beautiful scenery, for the relaxing atmosphere and for good vibes. If you want to have a perfectly rounded get away for a day or a weekend, check them out.“

“We have been members of Trefethen Winery for many years and they never disappoint us“

“The yurt experience is really special“

“Delightful owner and winemaker with tasty wine. We had a wonderful experience at Loxton Winery and you know you are learning from someone who loves his job and his relationships with the growers. We learned a great deal and would highly recommend!“

“Really enjoy our experience today. Dana was absolutely lovely 😊“

“So great!!! The best EVERYTHING you’ve ever tried.“

“The tasting experience was amazing, and our host was so wonderful—warm, energetic, and genuinely passionate about the wines, which made the whole experience even more fun. The views were unreal, easily some of the best in Napa, and the value of the tasting was hands-down the best we found.

We loved the wines so much that we ended up buying several bottles, which waived the tasting fees and made it an even better deal. Everything from the service to the scenery to the wine itself exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend a visit to Rombauer—truly a must-stop in Napa.“

“What an Amazing experience with Roman as our host. We loved walking in the gorgeous vineyard and viewing the fog on Atlas peak in the distance. The wines are so elegant and delightful. I highly recommend the tasting experience expertly paired with delectable bites. The most enjoyable part of the morning was hearing the stories that Roman told us about the property and all of the details we enjoy in the making of the wine down to the quotes on each cork. We will always remember this beautiful experience when sipping our Fantesca wines home in Tennessee.“

“I loved my experience at Chimney Rock! I did a tasting with Nancye and it was the best winery experience I’ve ever had. She was so fun while still being very professional. If every winery had a wine educator like Nancye, the industry wouldn’t be declining because she was amazing! Make sure to request Nancye and thank me later :)“

“A very personalized experience.“

“We’ve been customers for 5 years now. Food is fresh, flavorful, eye popping, and perfect for sharing. We usually get one of their seasonal salads, a bruschetta or sandwich and polenta tots to start. For wine, ask for Keegan, he’s amazing.“

“Bouchon Bistro will forever hold a special place in our hearts. My wife and I have been coming here for over 12 years, and it’s not only one of our all-time favorite restaurants; it’s a must every time we visit Napa. We’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, our engagement, and soon we’ll be back in December for our babymoon.

The food is consistently exceptional. The roast chicken is the best we’ve ever had, the steak frites is divine, and the salade lyonnaise is indulgent perfection. You simply have to end the evening with the profiteroles and crème brûlée; it’s non-negotiable.

But what truly sets Bouchon apart is the team. The staff goes above and beyond to make every visit special. Their hospitality is world-class, and it’s clear they take immense pride in what they do.

Thank you, Bouchon, for being such an enduring part of our lives and memories. We can’t wait to be back soon.“

“Portions are just right. Great staff.“

“An incredible experience from the time we opened to door to our close out. Sean is our new best friend and we never want to do life without him. The wine was impeccable! Our favorites were the last two Cabs we tasted. Overall we gained a new understanding of “lady wines”. Yountville what a beautiful area!“

“We voted this our favorite winery of our trip to Napa! Amazing wine, staff, and overall experience. We felt so welcomed and at home. We loved exploring the beautiful gardens and seeing the goats. Lowkey and such a relaxing experience. Everyone there is so sweet and wonderful. I already can’t wait to go back!“

“Our best visit during our trip to Napa! We visited Domaine Carneros, B.Cellars, Davis Estates, Grgich, and Prager Port. We had a nice visit at all of those vineyards, but none of them came close to the hospitality, friendliness and generosity that Ryan Morales showed us during our tasting at Maxville. The wines were fantastic, as was meeting Cullen...a member of the wine making team. The entire visit was spot on from the minute we arrived, to the tour of the grounds, to the tasting. Exceptional, proud to be a club member at Maxville...can't wait until our next visit.“

“Amazing atmosphere and vibe! Food was delicious! Price was to be expected for the area but definitely worth it 🫶🏻🪷“

“Hall Wines was an experience beyond anything that I could have imagined. When we came to wine taste at Hall, our expectations were not set. I've been too many wineries in St Helena, but I've never been to Hall. The grounds were absolutely immaculate. The winery was stunningly, beautiful. Our server Alfredo Hernandez was knowledgeable, warm, friendly, inviting, and a superb host. I love talking about wanting and asking questions as I taste and both Alfredo and Tom were both a pleasure to engage with. We enjoyed absolutely everything in our experience. We enjoyed everything so much that I decided that after July of this year, I would like to switch my wine club over to Hall from another wine club that I have in Napa. Very much looking forward to our next visit!“

“At my first visit I decided to become a member. The tasting room is very artsy, the grounds are small but nice to walk. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Additionally, you get free monthly access to other tasting rooms at couple of nearby wineries.

Wine taste is very subjective, so that's a bit more difficult to rate. What one person likes might be unpleasant to another. I've been at wineries where I don't like any of their wines, as well as one where I liked 9 out of 10 tastings. At Raymond, I like several of their reds, and all of their whites. Over all a very pleasant tasting experience worth repeating here and there.“

“Wine was absolutely good rich on flavor.everyone was very nice and I love their patio“

“I can’t praise The Wine Snob* Winery/Tasting Room enough. Suffice it to say that I have lived in the wine country for 20 years, in Glen Ellen (that’s a lot of tasting wine in Sonoma & Napa counties).
The Wine Snob* is simply the best!
We are inbetween Wine Clubs (past have been Jacuzzi, Lasseter etc.) We are definitely signing up for Wine Snob* Club as well as the satellite Champagne Club called Wolves~Lovers & Theives. Ask Ryan or Lindsey what these 3 words mean. The owners are always serving the libations, and pride of ownership is evident.
Gentlemen, remember that diamonds and bubbles are a girls ‘best friend!’“

“Very good dinner & Chevelle agrees!“

“Had a great breakfast!!!!“

“This place is Top Tier Wine, the Best Wine Tasting Experience in Yountville but plan months ahead, because it’s so good that it gets booked well in advance“

“Great food! We would love to have your food catered at one of our events in the future!“

“My wife and I have been visiting and drinking Laurel Glen wines for years. Their Cabernet is absolutely fantastic. Likewise the tasting room space and experience, tucked in the tiny hamlet of Glen Ellen, is personal and relaxed, which tends to not be the case in many other tasting rooms in and around Napa. If you're a Cabernet drinker (or want to be), this is the right place.“

“Friendly service and food was amazing.“

“Moim zdaniem najlepsze wina w Napa. Bardzo miła i pomocna obsługa, która z uwaga wsłuchuje się w oczekiwania gości!“

“We decided to stop for lunch in downtown Yountville. We ordered two cheeseburgers (my husband's burger was a double), fries to share and two drinks. The food was fresh and delicious. But we were sticker shocked by the price. It ended up being $70! The staff were also not very friendly. The atmosphere was small and cozy (best suited for 1-2 people). Overall it was a fun afternoon but probably would only go on special occasions as tbe price point is high.“

“Wonderful selection of both reds and whites.“

“My late husband and I always brought our visitors to Kunde Winery for their luscious/rich and delectable wine. At Kunde, we have built many unforgettable and sweet memories with our wine-loving family from Taiwan and local friends. It is a wonderful tradition worth continuing.

I particularly love their Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Dirt Red and Zinfandel. Every visit to Kunde always evokes feelings of nostalgia. It is such a blessing to have Kunde, a hidden gem, within my arm’s reach. Kunde is a must visit when in Sonoma County.

Their guided mountain top tour (the views were absolutely spectacular and breathtaking), dog hike, and wine/music events in which I participated put me at the top of the world emotionally and mentally. Life was beautiful! Come visit and explore this beautiful place to build a lasting memory.“

“Omg! Thank you Clif Winery! I had ordered wine back in February and was going to pick it up in May during my mom’s b-day celebration. Because that had to be cancelled, they delivered the wine to me today, along with a few bonus bottles! Love these guys! Thank you Ashley Cox, John Sundin and the whole Clif Winery Family! :)“

“This was our 3rd time doing the Bacon & Wine tasting. We can't wait to taste what chef has come up with each time - they change their sauces that go with the bacon all the time so the experience is always new and different. Their Double Barrel Cab was so good, we came back the next day and got a glass of it to go with our Priest Kitchen Smash Burger. Jose, thank you for another fantastic tasting, we look forward to seeing you again next time!“

“Such an amazing place! Beer, wine AND ice cream! Perfection!“

“great food. great friendly service and lovely patio seating🥰 would highly recommend“

“Visited Oct. 25, 2025:
Markham is our favorite of the 20 we visited that week. We will be joining their wine club... when we finish the wine we shipped home.

Great tasting and our host went above and beyond. While multitasking his guests including a private party, he made us feel more than just welcome. He gave us appropriate time to enjoy our wine, always returning at the right time. He shared history and fun personal experiences living in Napa for over 50 years, while laughing with us. Regrettably, his contact info was lost during wine shipping home.“

“We loved our visit to Little Vineyards. This is such a quaint spot and the type of place we love to support. The wines here are fantastic and our host was generous with the pours. Come to Little Vineyards - you will not be disappointed. Its the opposite of the corporate wineries in the region and was the highlight of our day in Sonoma. We joined the wine club and continue to receive their amazing wines throughout the year. We get their Cabernet Rose and it reminds of the amazing afternoon we spent at Little Vineyards.“

“OUTSTANDING!!! Having some dietary restrictions with a set menu didn’t get in the way of a phenomenal meal!! Tania our server was beyond accommodating and cared so much to be sure our experience was 5 star. A wonderful way to start the new year. Will 100% return!!!“

“Food is so good. Family friendly“

“Amazing experience, great food, excellent customer service special day out with the Fam“
