Whatever the tempo of your day may be, you’ll find the Oxbow Public Market a warm, welcoming, one-of-a-kind experience. Whether you are looking for a great bottle of wine for dinner, some scrumptious burgers for the kids, or foraging for the most delectable peaches in season, Oxbow should be your destination in Napa.

Bicycling
Highway 29 is Napa Valley’s principal highway. Running parallel to it on the eastern side of the valley, Silverado Trail is less traveled and a favorite of bicyclists from Calistoga to Napa. Between the two highways are numerous lanes providing quiet miles of vineyards and trees. Bicycle rentals are available at the resort. Tours and additional bicycles may be arranged through the concierge.

The magnificent setting for the Culinary Institute of America makes a meal prepared by visiting chefs a memorable experience. The century-old stone building, known as Greystone, the former site of the Christian Brothers winery, has the feel of a Spanish castle. Cooking demonstrations are held Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday at 1:30 and 3:30 PM, with an additional demo on the weekends at 10:30 AM and last approximately one hour.Fee: $15.00 Phone Number: (707) 967-2320
