14 Best Wine Bars near Rutherford

“My friends and I stopped in over the weekend and were delighted that we did. Joseph was our host and he was amazing! Provided extensive knowledge about the wines and was very attentive although he was busy with so many other groups. This winery is also veteran& military friendly which I have the utmost respect for supporting businesses who support our troops and veteran community. I highly recommend trying their Cabernet Franc, one of the few wineries in Napa that sell it and it’s phenomenal!“

“Delightful staff. Delish food. Impeccable service!“

“10 out of 10 recommend if in Napa. Symptomatic celiac wife and they offered nearly entire menu, including several desserts, are or can be made gluten free. Burrata with roasted peppers, crispy artichoke, and king salmon. Caramelized banana split for dessert. All were excellent. Amazing ambience—art gallery, chandeliers, huge fire places, live trees with lights, glass atrium ceiling. Service was friendly, attentive, and quick! Waiter even phoned our hotel when it was time for shuttle to come pick us up. Well done, RH.“

“Service is like 'welcome home!' DJ took care of us and checked in often to make sure we were doing good! Amazing 👏🏽
Amazing atmosphere, go sit rooftop for a view!
The Chicago style italian beef was amazing + the Latke. Oh and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc!“

“Great spot to grab a bottle of wine or tasting before dinner. No need to pay the $55-$125 tasting fees in the wineries.
The owner was lovely and gracious.
Grab a bottle here as they have great selection and pay the corkage, you will save money from the ridiculous mark ups in the local restaurants…“

“Had a reunion with all of my prior employees and it was great! They had us in The Vault which was quiet and private, but our waiter came to check on us regularly. The food was fantastic and we all had a great time. What we ate: Hamburgers, Crab Louie salad, mixed salads and salmon. We also had two appetizers and they were both great--a cheese platter and burrata tray. We will be back!“

“We had the best time tasting at JCB for my friends bachelorette! The atmosphere is unforgettable and decorated to the max. The wine was delicious. Our server was very helpful and sweet. She gifted our friend, the bride, with a nice bottle to take home!“

“Excellent small production winery to visit with friendly hospitality and great selection of reds and whites. Generous tasting pours. Kid friendly. They recently banded together with 6 other small wineries so you have an excellent long list of wines to taste from. Some solid Sonoma wine options like Pinots, Chardonnays and Italian and French blends, as well as some very unique ones like a sparkling Tannat!“

“From the moment we walked through the doors of The French Laundry, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Every detail—from the warm welcome at the beginning of the evening to the unforgettable kitchen tour at the end—was executed with a level of care, professionalism, and genuine hospitality that sets the gold standard for fine dining.\n\nThe entire team made us feel truly special. Every person who touched our table contributed to an experience that was seamless, thoughtful, and memorable. Service was attentive without ever feeling intrusive, and each interaction felt authentic and intentional.\n\nThe food itself was exceptional—beautifully prepared, perfectly paced, and full of flavor and creativity. Each course built upon the last, making the meal feel like a carefully composed journey rather than simply a dinner.\n\nI would especially like to give kudos to Brighton (I believe that was his name). His professionalism, knowledge, and warmth elevated the entire evening. He embodied what great hospitality should be and left a lasting impression on us.\n\nThe French Laundry is more than a restaurant—it is an experience. From beginning to end, it was flawless, memorable, and truly something we will never forget. We are grateful to the entire team for an evening that exceeded every expectation.\n\nHighly recommended, and very much worth the experience.“

“Great comfort food and service. Enjoyed it very much.“

“Reserved a tasting and three course lunch. Was an awesome experience with a personalized touch from the lovely couple that owns Night wines. Well worth the experience and food was amazing. The tasting had a chocolate Truffle that was like having a frozen hot chocolate in a ball. Lunch was a steak sandwich that was to die for. And dessert was a chocolate mouse cake that sealed the deal.“

“great place to shop, hang out and have some amazing vino!'“
