There’s no shortage of restaurants in Napa-there’s a ton of them! This week we’re heading over to Farm at Carneros. If you’re celebrating something special, definitely consider making this the place you do it.

This is one of those restaurants that’s an experience unto itself. It features cathedral ceilings, dramatic lighting, and best of all, fireplaces! It’s incredibly elegant, but doesn’t feel pretentious or intimidating. The service is warm and welcoming, and manages to be informative without being overbearing. It features fresh produce from their half-acre garden, and seasonal dishes that showcase the abundance of Wine Country.

If brunch is your forte, this is your place. Farm offers a family-style brunch every Sunday. It’s fun because you get to try a variety of different menu items with your friends or family. You don’t have to agonize over choosing just one thing. They have a heavenly Brioche French Toast, and if you prefer a savory dish try the Crispy Duck Confit Hash-Yum!

Farm has an amazing patio if you enjoy dining al fresco, with views that almost provide a distraction from your incredible food. They have an extensive regional wine list, seasonally inspired hand-crafted cocktails, and plenty of craft beers. And for those of you who partake, they offer cigars too!

Farm at Carneros is a place to not just eat, but to experience what “Wine Country” really means. You’ll walk away feeling satiated, and a little more immersed in Wine Country culture. - Lea Gourley
