Attractive lounge |
1351 Main St St. Helena, CA 94574 +1 707 963 1969 http://www.1351lounge.com info@1351lounge.com |
Located in a building that used to house a local dive called The Cellar, this hip lounge has been receiving rave reviews. It is a great place to pop in after work and spy on local politicians engaged in animated conversation over a drink, or catch the live music or occassional stand up comic on Friday and Saturday nights. This is a very attractive place with classy decor, excellent service, and an all-around good vibe. The martinis have become a local legend. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Rustic charm |
1250 Lincoln Ave Calistoga, CA 94515 +1 707 942 4101 http://www.napabeer.com info@calistogainn.com |
In an area better known for highbrow tastes and attitudes, this dining gem offers a welcomed touch of rustic reality. Its patio overlooks the banks of the Napa River and during the warm months, the kitchen staff can be seen cooking outdoors over wood-fired grills. The deceptively sophisticated menu harvests a wide range of global influences, featuring such entrees as grilled flank steak, country paella and California udon. An adjacent brewery serves award-winning micro-brews. Visit on the weekend for live acoustic music in its pub. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Art extraordinaire and wine, too |
4411 Redwood Rd (off Hwy 29 near Yountville) Napa, CA 94558 +1 877 707 4377 / +1 707 255 1144 http://www.hesscollection.com/ info@hesscollection.com |
Swiss millionaire Donald Hess displays a portion of his magnificent art collection at this renovated Christian Brothers Winery. The original stone structures built in 1903 were retained in the new facility, which also includes an audio-visual room, a 13,000-square-foot art gallery and an upscale store. While the wines are simple by Napa standards, they are both decent and affordable. The winery produces two varietals, chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon, under two different labels: The Hess Collection (produced from Napa grapes, $15-35) and the bargain label Hess Select, made with grapes from Monterey County. Tasting fee is $5, self-guided winery tours free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

8445 Silverado Trail Rutherford, CA 94573 +1 707 942 3434 http://www.mummcuveenapa.com mumm_info@mummnapa.com |

Stage it on!! |
1030 Main Street Napa, CA +1 707 226 7372 http://www.nvoh.org/ |
Restored in 2003, this magnificent Opera house never knew it would live to see its good old days again. But now, its fate has reversed and restored it stands. With a whole bunch of activities happening in this beautiful place, the ones to look out for would be the play 'I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change'; there is also the Indigo Girls' performance that should not be missed, but the highlight should be 'Elevation 63', which features acrobats from the ages of eight to 21 - this play has a creative outburst that is innovative and compelling. But for those who love their funny bone tickled, do not miss the stand-up comedy competition, or better yet compete in it. Making a fool of yourself could not be more fun. Review © 2007, Wcities |
Orchestral accompaniment for grapes |

Howl up a storm! |
1801 East Cotati Avenue Rohnert Park, CA 94928 |
This stadium is located in the south-east extremity of the Sonoma State University campus, California. This is a favourite local venue for both sporting action and concerts - the Eagles and the Rolling Stones are scheduled to perform here later this year, so book your tickets early!
