5 Great Napa Valley Hotels for Food Lovers - AFAR

"Positioned downtown with pleasant riverside views, this hotel offers a practical, more affordable option for travelers and families thanks to numerous room types that largely include kitchenettes or full kitchens. Its standout dining asset is a long-established French-influenced restaurant under chef Ken Frank, which has earned Michelin recognition and a Wine Spectator Grand Award for an exhaustive, carefully paired wine list; the restaurant’s main attractions include an elaborate nine-course chef’s tasting, flexible four- or five-course options drawn from a core menu, and a dedicated vegetable tasting menu, plus seasonal highlights like an annual truffle menu. For more casual dining, an on-site cafe and bar serves comfort food and provides access to the restaurant’s wine selections for waterfront happy hours." - Sara Button
