Because we all live and work here full-time, we have the inside track to some of Napa Valley's best attractions and experiences. Below are "not-to-be-missed" restaurants, wineries, and other attractions that our members have personally experienced.

Very new on the local scene. Some of the best food you'll get in the valley in an atmosphere that exudes casual elegance. Outdoors is very romantic; the spacious indoor bar promises to be an exceptional meeting spot when the weather gets cold. The menu has a unique bicameral layout bespeaking health and wellness on one side and sinful comforting indulgence on the other. The whole place screams the essence of what Napa Valley is.

A private park of ancient redwood trees turned to stone preserving the dynamic geologic history of California. Home of the world's largest petrified trees (some 8 ft in diameter!). The rock shop is worth a visit all on its own. If you have any interest in Geology, this is a must-see.
