17 Best Wineries for Picnics in Napa and Sonoma - Eater SF
"Known for its legendary, first-growth To Kalon vineyard and founder Robert Mondavi’s clever invention of the term fume blanc (a rebrand that brought sauvignon blanc back in vogue), this iconic Napa Valley winery produces wines that range from affordable to exquisite. Tour the cellars and grounds, sample a selection of Spotlight wines, or skip straight to buying a bottle. While daytime picnics are discouraged, you’re welcome to pack a picnic for the summer concert series, and artisan cheese and charcuterie platters are available anytime in the tasting room. Mondavi also offers a handful of fine midday dining options including a casual lunch in the To Kalon Vineyard’s precious Piccolo Garden ($75) or a three-course lunch paired with signature wines in the Vineyard Room ($125)." - Jess Lander, A.
