Compline
Ever love a wine served at dinner so much you wish you could buy a bottle for home? That’s part of the concept at
Compline, a restaurant and wine shop in
downtown Napa. Local selections skew both classic (Cabernet) to offbeat (there’s an entire section on
Spanish varieties grown in California), and international bottles follow the same playbook, ranging from the familiar to the esoteric. Pair your bottles with the
seasonal menu (think gnocchi with Dungeness crab). And if you’re particularly enamored with what you imbibe, many are available for purchase at the bottle shop in the front.

Bay Grape
After building a reputation as one of
Oakland’s premier retail wine destinations, Bay Grape’s owners Stevie Stacionis and Josiah Baldivino headed north to open a
branch in Napa. The wine country iteration is just
as laid back and fun as its Bay Area sibling: tastings with winemakers and wine classes are always on the calendar. On nice days, order a glass or a bottle and take it to the
outdoor patio for a laid-back happy hour with friends.
