50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Rutherford

“My parents have been club members since 2003 so we come here often. We came in for my dad’s birthday and had an amazing time. The young woman who poured for us, Melissa, was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and conversational, no rehearsed monologue that’s written on the menu. Remembered likes and dislikes and geared our tastings individually. She also brought my dad an extra special pour to celebrate. Great time!“

“Really nice wines, attentive and genuine staff. A great, family owned winery with an interesting story that provides grapes to many other wineries. Artisan tasting was a really lovely mix of 3 cheeses, a cured prime rib, apricots and almonds. Ricardo did awesome, and appreciated Sam's coordination. We'll be back.“

“We visited Grgich Hills Estate recently and had a wonderful experience. Ryan was our host / wine educator. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. He shared the history of Grgich Hills with us, told us about each wine and answered any question we asked. We also had the pleasure to meet Violet Grgich, whom was lovely. Grgich Hills Estate was recommended to us by Vince from Chateau Montelena. We are so glad he recommended Grgich Hills and that we visited. We enjoyed it so much, my husband and I joined their wine club.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Gary was the most knowledgeable and patient wine educator; willing to spend his time telling stoeies of his long experience in the wine industry. I had the pleasure of learning a lot from him. The wines, of course, are without comparison, esp the Cab Sauv's. Very recommended experience!“

“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! ❤️“

“Amazing service!! Thanks Stephanie!“

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

“Ate there for the first time yesterday and can't wait to go back. We're vegetarian but had no trouble finding incredible offerings. The mushroom/leek risotto was the best I've had. The sweet corn tamale appetizers were surprising and flavorful, and the grilled avocado tostados fabulous! On beautiful grounds with fresh produce growing beside the restaurant. Staff was friendly and efficient. Just a great experience!“

“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“

“An absolute gem of a winery—graceful, inviting, and memorable in all the right ways.

Our group—six adults and one very content 10-month-old (we called ahead to be sure he was welcome)—settled in effortlessly and were rewarded with an experience that felt both relaxed and refined. We chose the veranda, where the view opened onto a lush garden alive with movement. Between sips, we caught glimpses of hummingbirds darting like jewels, butterflies drifting lazily, and even the occasional chipmunk making a curious appearance.

Our hostess guided us through the $50 tasting with warmth and expertise, bringing each of the five wines to life with just the right balance of knowledge and ease. Every pour impressed—distinct, expressive, and genuinely enjoyable. And the thoughtful touch of applying the tasting fee toward bottle purchases? That sealed the deal. Each couple left with at least two bottles in hand—a testament to both the quality of the wine and the smart, guest-friendly approach.

Inside, a wall of glass reveals rows upon rows of barrels stretching into the distance, a quiet reminder of the craftsmanship behind every glass. You can wander through this space via the gift shop, adding another layer to the experience.

A place that manages to feel both elevated and welcoming—I’d return without hesitation.“

“We had such a memorable experience at the Reserve Room at Mayo Family Winery, honestly one of our best visits yet, and we've been several times. The highlight this time was definitely the food. There's a new chef, Oscar, and he is fantastic. Every dish felt thoughtful, beautifully executed, and perfectly balanced with the wines. You can really tell there's a fresh energy in the kitchen. The pairing was exceptional, easily the best we've had here. Each course elevated the wine in a way that made the whole experience feel cohesive and elevated, without ever being too heavy or overdone. We've always loved Mayo, but this visit stood out. Between the upgraded food program and the consistently great wines, it felt like a true step up. We ended up buying wine before leaving, which says it all. Can't wait to come back.“

“Great food , great service“

“The yurt experience is really special“

“O’Brien Estate was absolutely beautiful, especially near sunset. The hills were covered in blooming mustard greens, creating the most stunning backdrop. Arriving in the early evening made the experience even better—the golden light was unreal. Feeding the goats was such a fun and memorable touch and added to the charm of the property. A peaceful, scenic winery with incredible views and a unique, welcoming atmosphere. Heath was a fantastic host! Do not miss this place while visiting Napa.“

“Great tasting experience. I’ve always enjoyed Nickel & Nickel wine, but was a bit skeptical heading into the on-site experience as I’ve been let down by a fair number of Napa wineries. Ultimately, I was super pleased. It was informative without being preachy. By the end I understood a lot more about the different vineyards in the N&N portfolio and I enjoyed all of them. Joe hosted us and he was great. his discretionary pours were selected based on our feedback from the initial wines and were spot-on. Also, the space was great - we were able to sip at our own pace and didn’t feel rushed at all. Will be back.“

“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.“

“My husband and I visited the Handwritten Tasting Room for the first time for a bread and butter experience. Amy was a most amazing hostess!! The knowledge she demonstrated was top notch and she made us feel very comfortable. The food was delicious and the wine spectacular! We joined the club and look forward to much more with Handwritten! Thank you!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Ty Caton Vineyards and George in the tasting room MADE our weekend. We did a wedding party trip with 22 people and no one has stopped talking about what a great time we had with our wine tasting. They were fun, accommodating, and the wine was delicious. We wish we could come back every weekend! This is a must stop in Kenwood for sure!“

“Portions are just right. Great staff.“

“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.“

“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!“

“great food here. tops in service and taste. will go soon. just wish they were open every day.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“Our first time wine tasting at ZD as first taste members. Welcoming host and staff. We enjoyed a leisurely sunny day tasting great wines. Victor our server was engaging and knowledgeable about the wines. We also had nice tour from Walter who graciously showed us the garden and grounds. We will be back soon. I love the non pretentious and casual setting. Keep it up ZD.“

“Very good dinner & Chevelle agrees!“

“Love the food and service“

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

“The concierge at Harvest Inn, Maria D’Ambrosio, booked us in for a tasting at Louis M. Martini for our 30th anniversary and OMG was it epic! We were greeted by our host, Holden, at the front door and given a quick tour of their tasting facilities. We sampled many of their tasty wines in their dining room and were then treated to a 5 course meal! The food and wine were both amazing and to wrap it up, we were given an oak plank from a wine barrel with a special anniversary message on it for us as a keepsake. We were really well taken care and we purchased several bottles of their delicious wines and we will most definitely be returning! Highly recommend stopping in here for their wines, food and amazing people!“

“Friendly service and food was amazing.“

“Out of all of the wineries/vineyards we visited, we got the best education from B Cellars. Forest was a wealth of fascinating information about how wine is made. While we enjoyed our tasty charcuterie spread with our tastings, he showed us maps of all of the vineyards in the valley and explained the importance of the location of where a grape comes from. Our private tour of this stunning winery also included the caves, their gardens, honey bees, and it's production facility-all meticulously maintained. Wonderful experience.“

“Best little local, yet off-the-beaten-path winery! We’d driven by Little Vineyards on the way to the Sonoma Valley Regional Park numerous times and decided to pop in one day. We were so happy we did! The wines are incredible, the team very sweet and laid back, and the views and atmosphere delightful. We quickly became members and enjoy bringing friends and family for a nice afternoon tasting every so often. It’s pet friendly and they have music on certain dates too! Highly recommend.“

“Large tasting samples so he ready and eat something before you go 😊“

“We had an incredible experience at Golden Bear Station. The food was perfectly cooked — from the salmon to the ribeye — every dish was spot on. The tomato water was such a lovely, unexpected touch that really elevated the meal. The service was outstanding, attentive without being intrusive, and the atmosphere was elegant with a fun twist of character, especially the red lighting. A truly memorable dining experience. We can’t wait to go back again.“

“The place is simple, but the decor is beautiful, also in a simple way. Don’t expect sophistication. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Good food doesn’t always come from the most elegant restaurant. We ordered three options from the menu, all vegan. My husband is vegetarian, I am vegan, and everything was delicious and exactly as we requested. The deep-fried dish was my favorite. I could eat that every day. It was on another level. Especially the sauce, which I think was tamarind. The flavor was so rich. The wine was also good. I thought it was a very delicate and thoughtful touch that the glasses were personalized with the restaurant’s name. I also really liked the service, very attentive and friendly. I found the decoration with fresh flowers on the table beautiful—real flowers, not synthetic or artificial. My husband and I spent about an hour here. It was very satisfying, and I plan to come back next time I visit Napa.“

“Would highly recommend a stop at Markham Vineyards! Fabulous wines and service. Zoey was an amazing guide for us on our tasting tour! She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Make sure this is a stop on your wine tasting tour, especially if you are a fan of reds! Thank you Markham and Zoey for an experience we will not forget! PS. Loved the wine greeting in the parking lot!“

“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!“
