First thoughts -- upon entering, very clean and cozy. Very interesting menu and selections. Front staff was very kind and helpful and even shared her recommendations. I appreciated her expertise and patience. Ended up trying the White Rabbit Latte, Caramel Latte and an oatmeal cookie. Wait time was about five minutes. 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.

I went in looking for olive wood charcuterie or cutting boards and ended up tasting olive oils. If I was more committed to making my own vinaigrettes for salads, I would invest in trying the variety of infused olive oils. My favorite vinegar was the fig, but it only comes in a large bottle.

There are so many great flavors that it's hard to narrow down which one(s) to buy or not to buy. I decided to just buy three bottles of balsamic vinegars.

We were welcomed warmly with the beverage of our choice (wine, whiskey or water) before the tour. We saw the trees up close and learned about olive trees, the soil, pests, pesticides, and the harvesting process as well as tasted some extra virgin olive oil. We learned harvesting olives takes a lot of hard work! Our group bought a few bottles of oil to support as we enjoyed the taste and tour. The owner was so down to earth and friendly and shared our support goes back to investing into the olive trees. Go support this business by buying their evoo!

We would definitely do another class here. Support small and local businesses, you won't regret it!

So disappointed. I was so excited to do the cheesemaking experience and booked online. Showed up to…read morethe 3:30pm class 10 minutes early and the doors were locked and it looked like no one was inside the building. We tried calling the phone number multiple times and no one picked up. Also, knocked several times. Two other people arrived as well who tried knocking and calling to no avail. We waited until 3:45 until we gave up and left. After we left, we received an email saying we had been refunded and at the bottom of the receipt it said "We apologize as this order did not show up on our calendar until today. We look forward to hosting you in the future. Thank you, Sheana" (see attached screenshot). I think this is deeply unprofessional on so many levels. Even if the reservation had only shown up today on their calendar (despite us booking it several weeks prior) and they weren't prepared, they had all the time before 3pm to reach out via email or phonecall to say they couldn't make the class. They didn't even try reaching out and instead we received a refund after the scheduled class time. Lack of communication is such a bummer considering we set aside a couple hours for this and we were so excited. Also, this is located in Sonoma which means it's out of the way for people who are visiting Napa and its vineyards. That's typically not an issue but considering we had to drive out the way and we got cancelled on after we waited for them is where it is an issue. Deeply unprofessional situation and hope they improve on communication soon.

They suggested this restaurant located right inside the resort, and what a fantastic recommendation it turned out to be! This farm-to-table Italian restaurant truly impressed me with the quality of its food, drinks, and overall dining experience. As a vegetarian, I was delighted by the extensive selection of vegetarian and vegan options available. The staff and chef were incredibly helpful in guiding me through the menu. Taking the chef's recommendations, I ordered their freshly made truffle vegetarian pizza, a large Italian salad, crispy artichokes, rigatoni, truffle fries, and tiramisu for dessert. Every single dish was prepared to perfection and absolutely delicious. The ambiance is equally impressive. It's the perfect place to relax and spend quality time with friends and family. The outdoor seating area offers beautiful views, and the cozy fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for exceptional food, great service, and a memorable dining experience. Definitely worth a visit!

He couldn't even be bothered with his answers " what we have is what's out there" we understand that. It was the tone and the flippant response. Sadly its a tourist trap - and they can treat people anyway they want for there is someone else coming along - I'm local - I won't be back - eff that place - I do not recommend for their bad customer service. The other staff " appeared busy" picking things up and putting them back down then up again when you make eye contact. I won't shop here again. My friend bought a little jam anyway , yet commented she won't get it again- she will find somewhere else . Raspberry basil jam is what she bought .

This was done right. Pan seared branzino $38 (4/5) This was good too lightly seared light fish with some veggies on the sides Ciabattina & bagna cauda $6 (5/5) Crispy warm loaf with this anchovy butter. It's liquid anchovy butter so more dunk-able than spreadable. Zeppole $15 (5/5) Can't go wrong with ending the night with warm Italian donuts with chocolate sauce and cream sides. Dessert since it was my birthday they gave me a scoop of a fruity ice-cream with a candle on top. It was a really nice gesture. The service was great and the food was amazing! I would definitely come back to try the other dishes! The 3 of us were stuffed happy!
