Thomas Keller's French bistro in Yountville serves steak frites, moules mariniere and tarte Tatin without the months-ahead booking of The French Laundry.

Charter Oak is Christopher Kostow's more approachable restaurant in St. Helena, with a wood-fired menu of seasonal Napa Valley produce in a relaxed format.
TipCharter Oak is significantly easier to book than Restaurant at Meadowood. Go for the wood-fired vegetable plates and the seasonal whole-grain desserts.
Press is built around Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, with the largest Napa Cab restaurant collection (5,000+ bottles) alongside dry-aged beef.
TipBook the private dining room for groups of 8-12 if you want the full wine-cellar access. The sommelier programme at Press is exceptional.
El Dorado Kitchen on the Sonoma Plaza is the farm-to-table anchor of downtown Sonoma, serving a California-seasonal menu paired with Sonoma wines.
TipSonoma city is significantly less expensive than Napa Valley for dining and wine. A Sonoma day trip via Highway 121 takes 30-40 minutes from Napa city.
