Why have an Apple Watch tracking your physical activity when you can use such landmarks as a chef who literally puts the fork in it across from Bistro Jeanty, or the rock mushrooms beside the post office/public parking? Some notable sculptures are a remarkably realistic man sitting on a bench outside the community center/library, Peter Hazel's Sockeye on a stream sculptured by rocks (very drought friendly), Freeland Tanner's New Spin take on Native American basketry overlooking the French Laundry kitchen garden, Sherry Tobin's Balance totem, Gordon Huether's "Holy" (full of holes), and Peter Hazel's Abundance, a basket of realistic-looking enormous tomatoes in front of Hurley's. Some of the sculptures are for sale. The Yountville Arts Commission has made their small town a feast for the eyes.

Quality/Quantity - I had a hard time with the website making my appointment, it's a user issue as I am just not tech savvy. So I called and someone actually answered the phone and made my appointment for me, THANK you! We arrived 15 mins early, so we hung out in the lobby reading all the history, etc. Then Skip took us to the best view overlooking the vineyard for our tasting; see pictures! We sampled almost ALL the reds! All of which were good. See pictures. I like the fact that we did side by side tastings of many of his wines. My favorites were the 2022 Primitivo and 2021 Malbec, which we bought a few bottles of. Ambiance - Secluded private winery. Close to main Downtown Napa, but far enough away for privacy and a feeling of being far away. Appointment only, so very private and customer focused. Typically no more than 3 parties at a time. Today was considered a very busy day as there were 4 parties including us, lol. Gated private estate. 200 acres. Plenty of parking, especially since hosting only 3 guests at a time. Events - See their website. Well behaved dogs are allowed outdoors. Service - Skip is a history buff and we both talked for hours... After leaving, well really the next day (LOL), I realized that our tasting was supposed to be only 60 minutes. I guess because we got along so well, we stayed until closing! And he gave me a glass with a generous splash and let us walk the property alone after they left! So welcoming and trusting. Price - Depends on which tasting and what you buy; see their website for prices. Tastings range from $50 to $100 per person. One free designated driver allowed. Tasting fees waived with wine equivalent purchases. Hike tours $75 per person ($60 for club members). See their website for more information.

I have been here a few times for the restaurant but the gallery is always the cherry on top of my visit.

It's dog friendly so I like to bring my pup to have lunch in the outdoor area of the restaurant and walk through the gardens and outdoor areas near the gallery as well. I definitely recommend a stop there to check them out, even if you don't think you have the budget to shop here. I haven't been disappointed yet.

3 Michelin Star French Laundry's garden, directly across the street from the restaurant. It looks…read morelike a small community garden but get closer and you can see how well maintained and neat all the vegetables are, even the chickens and roosters look regal and clean. I enjoyed coming here and checking it out because of the transparency, they take the common and plain looking red cabbage or arugula you see at your feet and transform it into something "consistently superior", "soul-satisfying", etc... Come early and you may spot Chef Thomas Keller walking the garden and later in the evening you might even spot a maskless governor and well-dressed diners getting their shoes muddy. The smell of oak smoke permeates the air pleasantly, they are using it for one of their dishes and you can see the acorns and oak trees in the garden. 4.5 stars, greenhouse is worth peaking into as well. Parking is free on street and residential neighborhoods on the left. Garden is open 24/7, totally public.

Now I know there was a failed museum in Napa that focused on wine and food called COPIA. However, I…read morewasn't aware that there's been a local art museum next to Chandon in Yountville since 1972 until Jamie read about the special tiki bar exhibition running until the end of this month, "Tiki Dreams: From Far Away Fantasy to Pop Culture Phenomenon". Definitely up our alley. Well, given our recent run on patronizing tiki bars here and abroad, we just had to go. We went up on a recent Saturday, and the museum was crowded with tiki aficionados. It turned out Bank of America was sponsoring an admission-free day, so we took advantage and became engulfed in what felt like a claustrophobic space that was equal parts arts & crafts fair and vintage memorabilia. There was definite entertainment value if you miss this mid-century phenomenon. There were other exhibition rooms, but we weren't made aware of them by the staff. Perusing the website, I noticed some interesting past exhibitions like "The Great California Road Trip 1962", something that appeals to my baby boomer sensibilities. Next to Chandon and close to other attractions, this might be worthy of a return visit. RELATED - Exploring north of San Francisco?

The largest exhibit is in the main building on the ground floor with the admissions desk and gift shop. The tiki exhibit itself was quaint and small. Mugs, old menus, photos and history of tiki bars, one set of Witco chairs and table, plus a hand built bar by local artist Woody Miller. Interesting to see but ultimately a quick walk through maybe intended more for those looking for nostalgia. They were selling tiki merchandise and mugs at inflated prices at the gift shop. Mugs that were $150 at the original events are being marked up and sold for $230. Almost all of the gift shop merch was overpriced. The other two exhibits downstairs were small and it smelled of sulfur or sewage since they are located below the bathrooms.. Really off putting. We looked through mini masterpieces and Great California Road Trip exhibits in at most 15 minutes and left. Entry to the museum is $15 per person... We went during Bank Of America's Museum on Us which takes place every first full weekend of the month. Bring your Bank of America credit or debit card and entry is free. Luckily one of us got in for free with this promo.
