50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Rutherford

“Honig is such a jewel. Very reasonable wine club options. We’ve been members for 3 years. Elle took care of us this year and she was a delight.
Share so many Cab vintages, along with some of their phenomenal Sauv Bs.
Honig is a Rutherford gem.“

“This winery is a truly exceptional place to visit, where the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience for every guest. The people here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their professionalism is evident in every interaction, from the knowledgeable staff who are eager to share their passion for wine, to the seamless organization of tours and tastings.

I highly recommend this place; it’s definitely worth the visit, and you will leave with not only a newfound appreciation for wine but also fond memories of a delightful experience.“

“We made reservations at the Bistro at 11:00 am. Nick greeted us and treated us like family, served us coffee and cookies outside in the shade..quaint tables overlooking phenomenal grounds - he made the visit, even took pictures of us in three settings! There is a very well done museum with the history of the Neibaum and Coppola families. Great place to stop and enjoy this 4th oldest winery in the valley!“

“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!“

“Another great tasting experience at Peju - terrific atmosphere, recommendations, conversation and wine - walked away smarter and with more cases on the way - even met Ms Peju and her friendly pups :) thanks Jim you did a great job !
We’ll be back ASAP !

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

“Bouchon Bistro was truly an exceptional dining experience. We arrived with very high expectations, given Bouchon’s reputation, and somehow the experience still managed to exceed them.

The service was absolutely above and beyond. Our waiter, Nick, was outstanding, attentive, knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a wonderful evening. What stood out most was the pace of the meal. We never once felt rushed, which is something we unfortunately find happens at many upscale restaurants. Instead, the evening had a relaxed, European feel that allowed us to slow down, enjoy our food, and truly savor the experience.

The French character of the restaurant was also beautifully executed. From the atmosphere to the overall dining experience, the theme felt authentic and intentional without ever feeling forced. It genuinely felt like stepping into a classic French bistro.

And the steak frites deserve a special mention—they were fantastic and one of the standout dishes of the evening.

Bouchon delivered on every level: exceptional service, incredible food, a beautiful atmosphere, and an experience that felt truly special. We came in expecting a lot and left feeling that it had surpassed those expectations. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Yountville.“

“Fantesca Winery is the place to be! This is hands down our favorite winery in Napa Valley.

I surprised my now-wife with a visit here during our honeymoon, and coming back was a must. We first visited about three years ago, and we’ve been talking about the wine, the property, and the entire experience ever since.

What made this visit even more memorable was our host, Roman. He went above and beyond—driving us around the property, teaching us about Fantesca’s winemaking process, and keeping us laughing throughout the tasting. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and truly enjoys sharing the experience with his guests.

This winery holds a special place in our hearts. From the incredible wines to the stunning property and exceptional hospitality, Fantesca delivers on every level.

Thank you again, Roman! We can’t wait to enjoy Fantesca wines back home, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.“

“Our experience at Rombauer Vineyards in Napa was absolutely wonderful and truly memorable! We were welcomed and the host guided us to our beautiful, private outdoor setting for our wine tasting and picnic. The setting was simply breathtaking, with gorgeous views overlooking the valley, beautiful flowers all around, and especially stunning two-colored hibiscus (my favorite!) Our wine hosts were friendly and knowledgeable. And, of course, the wines were top notch—as we have come to expect from Rombauer. The Chardonnay and Merlot were particular favorites and absolutely outstanding.

Between the exceptional wines, beautiful setting, wonderful hospitality, and attention to detail, Rombauer created an unforgettable birthday celebration for us. Another fabulous day at Rombauer! Thank you!“

“The yurt experience is really special“

“This is a no-frills winery, and the staff makes you feel like you are part of their family. If you get to do a tasting with Chris, you are in for a real treat. The wine is incredibly delicious. Went to many wineries while visiting Sonoma, and Loxton was by far the stand out within our group. Excited to drink Loxton wines for years to come. Highly recommend adding a stop here to your list.“

“One of the best boulangeries outside of France!“

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

“We went to Chimney Rock as a spur of the moment visit. Rachael was our host and she was amazing! She was very informative while also being friendly and funny in a way that fit the vibe perfectly. She brought us a couple extra pours when we were asking about certain wines and it made the experience extra special. We left with wine we talked about all afternoon and can't wait to open. Anyone who's thinking about visiting Chimney Rock should! And they should ask for Rachael as their host.“

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

“Clif Family Winery and their intrepid food truck experience define
what it means to stand out in a crowded field of wineries in the Napa Valley. Why, you ask? It's because they honestly care about the interaction as much as they do the food and wine—all three of which are exceptional. Go any time, but you'll discover this local gem makes sure you enjoy yourself from every aspect, without having to mortgage your home or take classes in oenology—not that's it a bad thing to expand one's horizons.“

“Leslie (I hope that was her name! The lady pouring tastings on Saturday 6/20 at 330pm) made the experience for us-she was so kind, offered lots of recommendations and clearly loves her job! We will come back in hopes of seeing her again as while the wine and cheese were great, the service was even better!“

“What a lovely experience! The tasting room is beautiful. The wines are exceptional, and Nick, our host, was fantastic. We were well taken care of and learned so much from him; he was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. The Cabernets are outstanding. Definitely do the collector tasting is you enjoy Cabs. A truly memorable experience that gives Napa wines a run for their money. We can't wait to come back!“

“We are on a road trip through CA and of course wanted to make a stop in Napa Valley and check out a vineyard. Though we stopped by the Napa Valley Welcome Center for recommendations they weren’t super helpful. I did use their QR code to find “kid friendly” vineyards. Some of these vineyards were not that kid friendly once we started looking into them and calling around. Tres Sabores however was VERY welcoming to us and our 9 year old. The vineyard was beautiful and so peaceful!! My husband and I enjoyed the tour with Dave and learned so much!! Julie the owner also came over and spoke with us for a bit! We tried 5 different wines and our daughter was provided organic juice boxes, bubbles and coloring supplies. We had snacks for the table that all of us enjoyed! After our tour and tastings we walked over to the barn area and played with the animals. Highly recommend Tres Sabores not only for families, but adults on their own too!! What a wonderful vineyard and great experience!!“

“My husband and I had a wonderful time at Kunde! Ryan hosted our tasting and he was excellent. Very friendly, personably and knowledgeable! The winery itself is beautiful. We spent the entire afternoon just looking at the scenery, enjoying the weather and chatting. We would definitely recommend it!“

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

“It was such a nice experience tasting some of their self-made wines. Ryan was absolutely amazing, really describing the history of these wines and some experiences around the Sonoma Valley. We wanna go there again in future if we ever have the possibility.“

“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!!!“

“It’s delicious and it serves food for our soul…“

“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!“

“Had a great breakfast!!!!“

“Food is so good. Family friendly“

“Wonderful selection of both reds and whites.“

“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.“

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

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

“I felt this was the most unique tasting room in Napa. A very different ambiance with creative flare from the creators. Great history too. Ask for Bill if you plan on visiting. He is ‘all knowing’ and will brief you on how this place became what it is today.“

“A very personalized experience.“

“Friendly service and food was amazing.“

“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“

“I came here in 2022 with a friend and did the bacon and wine pairing and it was lovely. Convinced my friends on this trip at the last minute to do the same, and it didn’t disappoint! Thank you so much to Juan and Katie for making it such a great morning to celebrate our friend’s birthday! The best wines, bacon, cheese plate, and cupcakes they brought us for our birthday celebration were all amazing and we were so happy with our time here! Would recommend to all!“

“We come to Napa Valley and St. Helena regularly to go to Clif Family Winery, where we have been longtime members. This time we decided to venture out a bit and visit Markham Vineyards. What a great find!! Zoey, our server was amazing, and we experienced one of the most enjoyable and memorable wine tastings we’ve had in many years. Markham wines are delicious and the atmosphere is beautiful. Zoey customized our wine tasting experience and poured many wines she thought we’d enjoy. She also informed us about the history of Markham and gave us a tour of the facility, beautiful and fascinating. Overall, our experience at Markham was wonderful. I would highly recommend Markham when in the Napa Valley. I would recommend reservations. Enjoy 🍷“

“Little Vineyards is a beautiful property with a lovely staff. Scott was a pleasure and was very helpful in explaining the story and which wines to choose. Would definitely recommend coming here for a tasting and enjoying the beautiful view.“

“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! :)“

“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.“

“Delicious and always consistent food!“
