This is a great segment from 2008 done by View From The Bay featuring some of the dog friendly wineries in Napa valley. If you are interested in heading there with your dog the Napa Valley Vintners have published a list of all the wineries that welcome dogs in the area.
Yountville is Mecca for Thomas Keller fans. Three of his famous restaurants, French Laundry, Ad Hoc and Bouchon Bistro, are located here. If you are just passing through and don’t have the time to sit down for an amazing meal or if you want to sample the masters work, but can’t afford a $100 lunch, Buchon Bakery is a great alternative.
It’s located next to Bouchon Bistro on the main drag in Yountville. They primarily feature pastries and baked goods but they also have sandwiches and quiche.
The patio is a great place to have lunch and is usually filled with both locals and tourists enjoying their meal and the fabulous people watching. Bouchon Bakery is so dog friendly that they even offer specialty treats for dogs.
Bouchon Bakery is across the street from Vintage Inn Which is in my opinion the best pet friendly place to stay in Yountville and one of the top in Napa.
Taylor’s Automatic Refresher is located on the south end of St Helena in Napa Valley California. It is a throwback to the 1950s drive in burger joint and a great break from the fancy dining places in the rest of the valey.The burgers are also great to have the day after wine tasting.All in house dining is outside, they have a beautiful lawn with picnic tables and umbrellas.There is a special lawn for dining with your doggie that is separate from the main area.
