Markham Vineyards
Our Welcome Party venue! A 45 year old winery best known for its Merlot.
**Pro Tip - try the "Frenchmen's Blend" to appease both your Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc lovers!
Brasswood Bar & Kitchen
Amazing lunch and/or dinner spot!
**Pro Tip - Don't skip the hand-pulled Mozzarella! Pop over to their tasting room after, their Rosé is AMAZING!
Grove 45 Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Museion Winery
Stop into Grove 45 to try products made from the olives and grapes grown at our wedding venue estate! They're a family run shop producing amazing olive oils and wines.
**Shout out to Devon's cousin, Ashlyn Maura, who is a hardworking employee at Grove 45!
HALL Wines
Visit the McDonald's family favorite winery! Shout out to Devon's aunt and uncle, Gayle & Glenn Cook, who are growers for HALL. The Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc will be one of the wines featured at the wedding.
**Pro Tip - WALT Chardonnay, The Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, Ellie's Cabernet, and Jack's Masterpiece Cabernet are some of our favorites... but truly, you can't go wrong. Hopefully you don't get as drunk as we do, good luck!
Rombauer Vineyards
If you want to bring home some of the bold and buttery Chardonnay that Napa Valley is known for... look no further! Also nicknamed "Cougar Crack" and "MOMbauer" (iykyk), this is Carol's favorite wine and will also be a featured wine at the wedding.
**shout out to Devon's track co-captain, LJ (Spanky) Westwood, who sourced this wine for the wedding!
Mad Fritz Brewery
Need a break from wine? Stop in to taste the incredibly fun brews at Mad Fritz. Each beer is a unique bottling from a single select wine barrel (60gallons) up to 230 gallons with aging in new French oak barrels. You have to make an appointment to tour/taste at their St. Helena location, but you can also stop into their tasting room in Yountville.
**One of the founders will be serving a selection of his beers at the wedding!
The Model Bakery
YOU MUST TRY THE ENGLISH MUFFINS. We realize it's an odd recommendation but you will not be disappointed. Luckily, you will all be receiving muffins in your Welcome Bags; we recommend saving it until you can toast it and add a *generous* topping of butter.
**Pro Tip - If you need to stock up, make sure you arrive early, they sell-out most days.
Gillwoods Cafe
The go-to casual breakfast and lunch spot!
Buster's Original Southern BBQ
A Thomson approved BBQ spot that will NOT disappoint!
Susie's Bar
The only late night bar in Calistoga. Open to 2am if you've still got some left in the tank...
