Tour Vin – Exciting New Venues in Napa Valley

Published on: September 12th, 2016

We just returned from our trip to Napa Valley and wanted to update you on the venues we visited! We focused on a few of the new, hip wine bars and a new restaurant that offers many exciting options for our guests.

Wine Bars:

Cadet Wine & Beer Bar – Located in downtown Napa, this venue offers a casual spot to enjoy wine, beer, cheese and salami plates, or an excellent grilled cheese sandwich. We were there after 7 p.m. and this place was rocking!

Mark Herold Reserve Room – Another downtown wine bar that just opened, this venue serves highly rated wines to the public and tastings require advance reservations. Experience their Portfolio Tasting (current releases of their Cabernet Sauvignon), as well as the Chef’s Tasting (artisan bites paired with their wonderful wines).

JCB Tasting Salon & Atelier by JCB – This new venue in Yountville offers a tasting room, as well as a culinary experience. The private tasting area allows guests to enjoy the JCB wine collection and, right next door, you can nibble on fine cheese and charcuterie. We stopped in for a quick snack!

Restaurant:

Two Birds/One Stone – When you visit Freemark Abbey in St. Helena, make sure to stop in here for dinner. The restaurant showcases California cuisine and the menu features chicken meatballs, pork belly, king salmon, duck breast, Wagyu short rib and prawns. You will definitely enjoy the sweets, too – Kikori whisky, chocolate custard or peaches n’ cream. Reservations are a must!
