"Take in what is arguably the most spectacular view of Napa Valley from Rutherford Hill Winery’s shady oak grove. These picnic tables are so coveted that they cost $75 to reserve, but that fee is waived with an equal value purchase of wine, an easy feat when picnicking with a group. During the summer, Rutherford Hill stays open late on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings for sunset sipping. From 5-8 p.m., you can purchase wines by the bottle — from sauvignon blanc to malbec, they’ve got something for everyone — to pair with your picnic fare, or a Dean and Deluca charcuterie board. No reservation is required for the sunset experience." - Jess Lander, A. K. Carroll
