Things to Do / Places to Eat

While you are here in Napa we would like to suggest experiencing some fun activities for when you are not partying with us and also some excellent places to eat which we frequent. A trip here is not complete without a visit to Taylor's Refresher, or you might just be in the mood for Mexican food, so why not go to Las Palmas, the place where we met on our first date (can you guess who paid?).
