Guidebook for Saint Helena
Parks & Nature
This is where we get out in open space to walk our dogs in St. Helena. Walk or jog in the vineyards along the maintained flat path from Library Lane to the Napa River. The path is totally exposed--best in mornings, or early evening to catch the sunset. Bring a towel to clean up pups if you let them swim! And please pick up poop; trash cans are provided along the path.

Great food in casual, friendly environment. True farm-to-table, including their own grass-fed beef. Favorites include fire-roasted shisito peppers and the gnocchi--add a 'top-cut' grilled chicken breast to the gnocchi for a complete meal. Rustic, beautiful barn-like atmosphere with open-beam ceilings indoors and large stone fireplace at the popular outdoor bar. Need a break from wine? Farmstead serves an outstanding locally-made craft beer 'Mad Fritz,' otherwise only available through direct, club membership for home delivery.

The fish tacos! It is tough to decide between the poke tacos and the grilled fish tacos, both are so good with fresh ingredients and house-made salsas. Not inexpensive for a roadside diner! But where else can you grab a split of Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc and chill on a picnic table with your dog. The Mexican grilled corn in summer and sweet potato fries year-round are other favorites.
