Casual spots
- Rutherford Family Pizza: After a day of exploring vineyards (or before!), Rutherford Pizza is a fantastic option for the whole family. Their delicious pizzas are always a hit, and the casual atmosphere welcomes kids with open arms. Plus, they often have outdoor seating where your furry friends can relax alongside you. And don’t forget to pop over to our friends at Naysayer for a cup of joe.
-
Deuce's Market: For a quick and easy bite, or to stock up on picnic provisions, Deuce's Market is a must-visit. They have a great selection of sandwiches, salads, and other grab-and-go items, perfect for a casual lunch. Grab something to enjoy at one of the many scenic parks in the area with your family and your dog! Located on the First Street Plaza, it’s a great place to stroll for sightseeing or shopping.
- Oxbow Cheese and Wine Merchant: While the name suggests a focus on adults, Oxbow Cheese and Wine Merchant is a surprisingly family-friendly destination. Kids will love exploring the wide variety of cheeses and other gourmet goodies, and parents can enjoy a glass of wine or a craft beer. The vibrant Oxbow Public Market also offers a great atmosphere for exploring other culinary bites. While dogs aren’t allowed inside the Oxbow, outside seating does accommodate pups. And when you're done meandering head over to the CIA at Copia to meander through their culinary gardens.
A little fancier
-
Pizzeria Tra Vigne: This pizzeria offers a more relaxed setting perfect for families. The pizzas are wood-fired and delicious, and the outdoor patio is a lovely spot to enjoy a meal with your pup. They’ve even got a Bocce court if you’re in the mood for a game or two.
- Erosion Tap House: Looking for snacks, drinks, and ice cream? Erosion Tap House has a relaxed atmosphere makes it welcoming to families. The kiddos love the Ice cream and menu options! Truly a little something for everyone
- R + D Kitchen: While perhaps better suited for older children and adults, R+D Kitchen offers an approachable dining experience. They do have outdoor seating available sometimes and perfect for kids. Or you can always order to-go and pop over to THE best park in all of Napa Valley, The Yountville Park. A playground that won’t disappoint.
