50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Rutherford

“A warm welcome from the female host when we arrived. We had not booked, but walk-ins are welcome. We were given a Sav B as a greeting to drink. It was from the Miljenko Selection and was the best Sav B we tasted in our 3 days in Napa. Seated in the delightful garden patio area and Ryan was our tasting host. The Cab Savs were interesting to taste side by side, the 2021 and the 2015 and both very good. We also tasted a Zin and Ryan told us all about Mike Grgich's wine journey and how Zinfandel came to be in USA. We came here because we had heard about the Judgement of Paris and looked forward to tasting the Chardonnay. Both were exceptional. Truly excellent. The 2023 from the Miljenko Selection and the top of the top, the 2023 Paris '76 from a select section of the vineyard. Suitcase space meant we had to be incredibly select on our first visit to Napa, but the Paris' 76 had to be purchased. I could easily have also bought the Sav B and the other Chardonnay and the 2018 Violetta dessert wine, which a total treat to taste. And the Napa Wine train tooted and stopped outside. Had a lovely chat with the train driver. The grounds at Grgich are beautifully kept and we highly recommend you go and try it for yourselves. Raising a beret to Mike!“

“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!“

“I’ve been a wine club member for nine years, but I live in North Carolina and have limited opportunities to actually visit in person. I had the opportunity to make a visit Thursday, and it was truly spectacular. Everyone made a wonderful attempt to make me feel so special and I thoroughly enjoyed the club experience wine tasting. Chef Nic and Todd put on a world class tasting and I can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in town. Katie helped me book the reservation via text and it was so seamless! The entire course of food was amazing! Thank you, Chef Nic! Todd was great conducting the actual wine tasting, He was super knowledgeable about the history of Peru and was completely personable about his journey from OH to get there, but also just present enough to make it a thoroughly enjoyable two hours with my colleague! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!“

“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 is a spectacular destination if you are looking for a calm, and relaxed wine tasting in Napa.
​🌿 The Vibe & Grounds: We enjoyed our tasting outside on the beautiful patio. It is pleasantly shaded and sits very close to the stunning sequoia trees. Afterward, we were able to walk around and explore the vineyard, which was a major highlight.
​🍷 The Food & Wine (Plus a Warning!): We opted for the food pairing, and the bites were exceptionally high quality and delicious. However, note that the local birds on the patio can get quite aggressive! They will literally try to jump on the table to eat your food if you aren't paying attention. It's nothing that ruins the experience, but visitors should definitely be alert.
​🚗 Logistics: Parking on-site was quick and easy. Note that you definitely want to book in advance—we easily secured our reservation ahead of time using their official website. Highly professional staff and a great layout.“

“Portions are just right. Great staff.“

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

“The experience is absolutely unforgettable! We have completed extensive traveling including, but not limited to Italy and Paris and this is far the best wine tasting to date. The experience was intimate, personable. From the champagne on arrival, to the photo opportunity located at the best view of the vineyard on the property, to food and wine pairing where the the tartlet was indescribable. Listening to Tyler, a native Al, provide the history of the vineyard and background of labeling. Just an awesome experience, Visit, you will not regret it!!!“

“Rombauer was an incredible addition to our April 2026 trip to Napa Valley. The property is massive and easily accommodates larger groups and special events. With stunning views and engaging tours, this venue was surely a highlight from our trip. The cave & barrel portion of the tour was our favorite!

Kevin R. was our host and he was FANTASTIC. He offered delicious accompaniments with our tasting from a local chocolatier. I'm still dreaming about them! We truly enjoyed him and hope you're lucky enough to have him host your tour, too!

It should come as no surprise that Rombauer wine is delicious and a staple to your wine collection. We were able to sample their sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, and a few reds, rounding out a wonderful tasting.

Highly recommend a stop at Rombauer during your trip to Napa!“

“The yurt experience is really special“

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

“I was visiting Sonoma for the NASCAR race and found myself with some free time, so I searched Google Maps and came across Loxton. I’m so glad I did because I can’t recommend this winery enough!

How often do you get a personal tour from the winemaker himself? Chris was incredibly down-to-earth, welcoming and passionate about what he does. He has a great way of breaking down the winemaking process into simple, easy-to-understand explanations that made me feel comfortable asking questions and truly enjoying the experience.

The wines were fantastic, and the entire visit felt personal and authentic. I’m already looking forward to my next trip back to Sonoma. Until then, I’ll be enjoying these fabulous wines from home!“

“One of the best boulangeries outside of France!“

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

“Was recently in Napa for a corporate event and visited Chimney Rock. Our guide, Gary shared so many interesting facts and stories about: Napa, the wine industry and the history of Chimney Rock. The wine was amazing. Great wine and great experience. Be sure to drop in if you are in Napa!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This has been one of our favorite wines since we tried it over a decade ago when our friends got married here. As members, wine tasting is complimentary, and they are pretty flexible about which wines and how many you get to try. All the wines were excellent, especially the Zins which they’re known for.“

“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!!“

“A very personalized experience.“

“There was a gentleman with glasses at the front door who went above and beyond for my daughter and I yesterday. So kind, wish I’d gotten his name for this review, b/c he was certainly kind enough to motivate me to leave a positive review on his behalf.“

“Best wine tasting experience of our trip. Nick was a fantastic host, made it fun and memorable with just the right amount of info and stories behind the wine.
They make amazing Cabernet Sauvignon, and have a really nice chilled lineup now with excellent rose and whites.“

“What a unique experience! Our private tour and tasting in the pool house with Pamela, set up by Maria D'Ambrosio at The Harvest Inn, was special and the perfect way to start a couple of days in the Napa Valley.

From the unique story to the incredible wines, Pamela walked us through the JCB experience, how they make their wines, and the history of their family and their sustainable, all-natural winemaking without pesticides or chemicals.

One of the most eclectic and interesting properties we experienced. The sensory wall, including touch and smell, was an interesting way to talk about how people experience wine, and a walk through the red room and the winemaking area was extraordinary.

While it was a larger and more commercial operation, the experience was personal, and the wines we tasted were brilliant.“

“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“

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

“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 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.“

“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!“

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

“Had a great breakfast!!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“Friendly service and food was amazing.“

“Wonderful selection of both reds and whites.“

“These wines are incredible and it was a gorgeous setting! Zoey was very knowledgeable and navigated us through tasting some of the best wines we’ve ever had. She also gave us some great recommendations for dining and tastings in the area!“

“Love this place! The bacon tasting is amazing and a nice alternative to wine and cheese. All of the pairings were super flavorful. We also loved the pickle fritters and quiche trio. Come on a Sunday and enjoy the patio with music, you will not be disappointed.“

“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.“

“The crepes were absolutely perfect! coffee was good too. We picked the best breakfast place and will definitely be back soon. Try it, you won't be disappointed“

“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! :)“

“Delicious and always consistent food!“

“I have belonged to their wine club for the past year. Not only is their Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir one of the best wines I have tasted; their customer service/hospitality has been amazing!!! Bradley has been so wonderful helping me customize my orders. Absolutely the best!“

“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.“

“Beautiful winery with a lovely atmosphere and stunning surroundings. The staff gave us a warm welcome, and the wine tasting was excellent. The service was good overall, though I’ve experienced more attentive service at other wineries, which is why I’m giving 4 stars. Still, we had a wonderful time and would recommend visiting.“

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