I've always enjoyed visiting Anette's Chocolate at Oxbow Public Market in Napa and have received…read moregreat service in the past, which made this experience especially disappointing. This weekend, my cousin brought my aunt, who loves chocolate, into the shop. They stood by the display and attempted to ask questions about the chocolates. The employee repeatedly responded from behind the register that she "couldn't hear them" and refused to walk over to assist. Feeling unwelcome, they decided to leave. When they told me what had happened, I went over to the counter to understand what was going on. There were no customers waiting, and I calmly explained that my family simply wanted help purchasing chocolate. I asked if she would be willing to apologize and rectify the situation so my aunt and cousin could continue shopping. Instead, she repeatedly said she didn't want "anything hostile" and wasn't looking for "problems," even though the conversation remained calm and respectful. When I asked to speak with the manager or owner, she picked up the phone and offered for me to speak with someone. When I asked if it was the manager or owner, she said she was calling security. I was stunned. At no point was anyone aggressive or disrespectful. We simply wanted service. She then pointed to the Pride pins on her apron and shared that she had been bullied by others because of them. I made it clear that no one in my family was bullying her and that we only wanted assistance buying chocolate. I've spent many weekends in Napa and love Oxbow Public Market. This interaction was completely out of character with the hospitality I've come to expect there. Calling security on customers who are politely asking for service and requesting to speak with a manager was unwarranted and deeply disappointing. I sincerely hope ownership addresses this, because no customer should leave feeling unwelcome when they simply came in to buy chocolate.

If you don't like chocolate don't worry because their bon bons come in many fruity flavors as well. And over 40% of their options are vegan. The place is super cute and clean and there's a wine section for tastings with pairings of the chocolates or bon bons available. They are so delicate and smooth and full of delicious flavor. The earl grey had such a festive artsy pattern. This place is perfect for girl's night out or even a date. I wanted to take a box for friends but because it was so hot they wouldn't have lasted the drive home. I'll definitely have to go back so I can bring some home in the winter. Parking: plenty of parking in the area with lots, streets, and side streets Prices: $3.50 per piece and higher for boxed sets Atmosphere: cute, romantic, fun, flirty Staff: very friendly and attentive Dietary options: Plenty of vegan options

Originally, we were looking for an ice cream shop and I happen to spot some people on the street…read moreeating. It looked absolutely delicious so we wandered down to the chocolate shop, not realizing that it's a full chocolate shop with wonderful dipped selections and began our journey there. Many of the chocolates that are served there can be easily paired with your wine tasting because certain chocolates and certain wines go wonderfully together. Dania was so nice and information friendly. She let me have samples which I was totally happy with, and I was definitely able to purchase more items because of this. You look through the windows of the cases you just want to eat eat eat. I also thought it was interesting that they had wine tasting room inside there but you know if you think about it wine and chocolates there's a place for that in your world. The customer service was top-of-the-line and the product was extremely high-quality. I prove that the whole place.

The shop definitely lives up to its name--vintage, small, and cozy. They have a variety of sweets, especially chocolates, on display. They also have other specialty items and pairings. Service is quick and nice. My family did all the ordering since I was with my pup. I got a Mango Tangerine Sorbet, which was refreshing and tangy. They use Double Rainbow Ice Cream. My family got their desserts and enjoyed them. I recommend coming for their chocolates, and I'd be interested in their pairing. Vintage Sweet Shoppe off Main Street is a cute and popular spot for tourists and locals alike. There's free parking in the lot shared with the row of shops.

They did champagne and caviar, but I don't drink, so it was really nice to have the caviar tasting option. They have a chocolate company inside as well, so you can do chocolate tastings or just buy some truffles à la carte. We did the old world caviar tasting which was $125, and you get a .5 oz of 3 types of caviar (I think), and it comes with blinis, crème fraiche, and some Torres chips. Eating the caviar alone will always be my fave, but the sides are a nice touch! Our host (whose name I forget, sorry) was amazing! She knew so much about the caviar, explained everything, and she explained info about the different champagnes to my friends too. The tasting started with bumps of each caviar and tastings of the champagnes with the caviar types. Then we got to eat and drink as we wanted. I think it's totally worth the cost and can't wait to come back for another tasting!

We did the caviar + wine tasting and the Cabernet + chocolate pairing. We loved it so much we bought few bottles and chocolate to share with friends. Can't wait to go back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

UPDATE -- 5 STARS I…read morewanted to update my previous review after having the opportunity to speak directly with Annette, the owner. Annette was an absolute sweetheart. She personally took the time to call me, listen to my concerns, and address the experience I previously had with an employee. She was incredibly kind, genuine, and thoughtful in the way she handled the situation. I truly felt heard, and I greatly appreciate the care she took to make things right. Annette, thank you so much for taking the time to hear me and for the very thoughtful gift you sent to my family. We truly appreciate it. Of course, the chocolates at Annette's are absolutely decadent and delicious--that was never in question! But after speaking with Annette, I can also say that there is a wonderful heart behind this business. Annette's Chocolates is beautifully situated in the Napa community, and it means even more knowing you're supporting a local business whose owner genuinely cares about her customers and community. A business isn't defined by one interaction; how an owner responds when a concern is brought to their attention says a great deal. Annette handled mine with grace, kindness, and care, and I'm happy to update my review to five stars. I highly recommend Annette's Chocolates and look forward to visiting again.

Wonderful quality drinks; exceeded my expectations. Drinks are on the pricier end. $9 each for drinks. The oatmeal cookie was very good, priced at $5. Ended up coming here twice during my stay in Napa. Would definitely return in the future. Drinks are top notch, wonderful service. Very wholesome and cozy ambiance.

Perfect place to people watch and have some adult refreshments. We were greeted by Don 2 who was welcoming, gracious and knowledgeable about wines He helped us choose a wine.

The wine was wonderful and so smooth paired with the meat and cheeses we were on cloud nine. Their tasting was on the pricey side which is why we elected to get a full bottle. Regardless to say, we really enjoyed our stay there. Thank you Vermeil winery and Don 2!!

After we finished eating, I frantically researched (read: checked Yelp) for a winery to visit. Housley seemed to fit the bill--good reviews, dog-friendly (we had her dog with us), and what seemed to be a reasonable tasting price. We get there and we realize it's owned by Tamera Mowry (who is now Mowry-Housley!) There's a picture of her and her husband (a former baseball player) in the window. We're sort-of starstruck. Shortly after, her husband (and the winery's owner) Adam walks up with their daughter and asks us how we're doing. We continue to be starstruck. Service was wonderful. Seating was comfy. The views weren't the best (we were drinking on the sidewalk and there's a parklet too.) The 5 wines for $29 was not bad, but the size of the pours was lacking. The first pour was the smallest and then slowly they seemed to give us more (maybe they heard me!) Honestly, the pricier wines tasted better. I wish our wine tasting could've been free if we bought two bottles or something--I would've done that! Cute merch and store with goodies inside. Bathroom is clean. Would be back!
