Van De Leur Park, a former fire station site in Yountville, is now a tranquil oasis. Adorned with fragrant roses, the park's ambiance rivals nearby wineries. The stream, crafted from river rocks, showcases its drought-friendly design ahead of its time. Dating back to the 1920s, roses planted by an Irish immigrant add a historical touch. Signs narrate the stories of George Yount and the Van De Leurs, making it a serene and historically rich retreat.

The 3+ acres of The French Laundry Gardens were initially cultivated by then-owners Sally and Don Schmidt in the late 1970s. Under Chef Thomas Keller's ownership since 1994, this dynamic plot has undergone continuous evolution day by day, week by week, and year by year.

The town of Yountville is incredibly charming! If you’re torn on where to stay in terms of proximity, yountville will not disappoint. It feels newer than the traditional Napa stay, but yet exudes history and charm. Super clean! Everything is walkable (assuming one can healthily walk a few blocks). The surrounding residential area adds to the quaintness of this lovely town with its beautiful homes and walkable streets.

Aniko was amazing. We had a great time eating different bites at three different restaurants paired with excellent wines. We also visited a chocolate shop and tasted some of the chocolates. I would highly recommend this company and Aniko specifically for a trip to Yountville or Napa to explore the local restaurant scene and have some great food!

Our tour guide, Nakito, was awesome! She was very knowledgeable & thoughtful! It was my daughter’s birthday & Mother’s Day & both were thoughtfully acknowledged. The walking tour was amazing with different ethnic restaurants for food & wine and stories about each one! Highly recommend this tour- the best.

Very nice experience in a very nice location with a group of very nice people! Aniko was absolutely superb in providing a curated tour of Yountville. She and our tour mates graciously accomodated my wife’s need to utilize the trolley to lessen the walking. The food was all delicious and paired nicely with tasty wines. Yountville is a quaint town with lots of wonderful shops and world class restaurants. Highly recommend this tour experience.

The guide, Teresa, was friendly and knowledgeable. The food tasting portions were generous. However, the wine pairings were all non-California wines, which seemed odd. The final course (chocolates) included a 20 minute wine sales pitch which was a disappointing way to end the tour.

We had the best time on the “Yountville Food & Wine” tour even though it rained all day. Aniko, our tour leader, was fabulous. If we could, we would have rated her a 20 out of 10! She’s friendly, knowledgeable and a great listener.
Two special things about the tour for us…
1) We were the only people on the tour, making it totally private!
2) Aniko remembered my sister & brother-in-law, who recommended this tour to us, who also were on a private tour.
We laughed about it, so much!
Our tour began at RH with a burrata appetizer & a paired rose’. Then walked in the rain (it was fine, not terrible) to Bottega (an Italian restaurant) for a delicious raviolo & a paired chianti. An extra… Aniko surprised my wife with a special birthday dessert. Then to Kollar Chocolates… delish (we enjoyed the wine pairing (pinot noir) with the chocolates at the end, at The Vault (RH)… mmm! After the chocolate store, we went to La Calenda (a Mexican restaurant) for fish tacos and street corn with another great wine pairing.
OMG, we loved it all.
We recommend this tour to all and if Aniko is your tour leader, you’re the luckiest person on earth!

We were in town to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday. I booked this tour and couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Anika treated us like old friends and taught us so much about the town, the local personalities, and the food & wine we were consuming. The entire tour was an excellent experience. We had a great day.
