Absolutely love Caymus (the Wagner Family's) wines! Make a reservation through yelp. $50 Tasting includes the glass, may be waived with purchase, but this is not guaranteed (I would ask).

The private tasting is phenomenal. There is a variety of wines to taste, I prefer the high end. But the experience is great at any level. Walk over to Rutherford Grill for lunch!

If you've ever tasted their Chardonnay, you love Frank Family. They only pour Reserves at the Winery, so that's pretty special!

Live Music Venue

all kinds of music is played in the courtyard here and it's always a joy to walk downtown and check out the tunes ... no cover charge!
Lucca has Live Music often in the courtyard. Their food is also delicious. For more of a dining evening, you might make a reservation, then venture outside if music is playing...great for weekend brunch as well.

Josh is an outstanding bartender, the owner Debra is accommodating. Very cool vibe with live music often, delicious drinks and bites. Take the bar hopper home (just be sure to tip) if you've had anything to drink. You can leave your car downtown or walk downtown (which I love to do!).

Food scene

Delicious and inviting experience. Prix Fixe Menus are really nice to try and right on the water of course. High end.

Delicious food at a reasonable cost. My favorite is Pasta Ambrosia -chicken mushroom specialty (you can request even if it's not on the menu). The homemade Spaghetti is definitely worth a try and wait until you try their bread and tapenade-YUM!

Spectacular views from all areas of the restaurant. My favorite spot is either fireplace in the winter, or outside on the Patio or in the Cabana's for the summertime. Delicious fresh fish, no corkage, so bring your favorite bottle from your day of wine tasting.

Best Breakfast

Genuine Huevos Rancheros and strong coffee. Love to walk down to Java, sit outside, stroll the streets, then UBER or LYFT home unless you're adventurous enough to walk uphill home! Delicious, unpretentious and a hidden gem.
