There were so many great design elements all throughout Napa Valley, but one place I thought was really fun and captured the laid back, colorful, sensory experience Napa offers was Oxbow Public Market.
Their website calls it “The local gathering place for great food & wine in Napa Valley” and I think that’s a perfect description. It is at the base of the valley, in the town of Napa, so we stopped there on our way up from San Francisco.
Not only is it a visual feast for the eyes … but you can have a pretty tasty feast just walking around to all of the vendors.
Besides sampling your way through wine, cheese, oysters, spices, liqueurs, honey, olive oils, cupcakes or ice cream, they also have a fun restaurant called the Kitchen Door.
The vibe inside is just what I like a kitchen to feel like … light and bright with some rustic and vintage elements and pops of cheery color. Nothing too precious or fancy … just warm and cozy and the kind of place you’d like to hang out, laugh and eat!
( A much larger version of my copper pot collection!)
The bar was very cool … made of old wine riddling racks …
This would be a fun idea to copy at home!
If you are in Napa, be sure to make a stop at Oxbow Market. We were glad we did!
