Brunch at Bouchon

Does French food suit your fancy?! If so, reserve a table early at Bouchon and prepare to be wowed. Go for brunch and order from the brunch or dinner menu. If you’re in the mood for breakfast food, get the chicken and waffles. I guarantee it’ll be the most succulent chicken you’ll ever eat. Otherwise, the steak frites will not disappoint. Don’t be shy, keep asking for more baguettes and butter…you know you want to!

Cocktails at Bardessono

Lucy Restaurant and Bar at Bardessono is where it’s at! It is here where, patrons gather for happy hour before shuffling off to their dinner plans. The wine and cocktail list is extensive, and the “Nibbles and Bites” menu will tide you over before your reservation. If you dig fried food, order the beer battered onion rings and curl up next to a fire pit to enjoy.

Dinner at Redd

Reserve at Redd for a chic night on the town. This hip space is great for date night or groups alike. After you get your drink on, indulge in the crispy chicken thigh appetizer – your tastebuds will thank you later. The steak on top of potato purée and fried shallots is a great option for a hearty appetite. For a more laid back scene, cross the street for pizza at Redd Wood.

Sweet Treats from Bouchon Bakery

Satisfy your sweet tooth with freshly baked goods from Bouchon Bakery. Chocolate almond croissants, donuts, macarons, and caramel popcorn are just a handful of the many concoctions served up here. Wake up early or leave room for an afternoon pick-me-up to avoid the line. On a nice day, enjoy your pastries in the charming courtyard.

Which establishments do you consider your top Yountville restaurants?! I’d love to hear ’em.

Now that you know what you are getting yourself into, let’s talk attire! One of the things that I loved the most about Yountville is the world-class dining…more importantly, fine dining without the jacket requirement. Anything goes – whether you’re filling up after a bike ride or indulging after a day of wine tasting, you’re appropriately dressed for the occasion. Taking advantage of every opportunity to dress up, I changed out of my “travel clothes” and into a chic boho ensemble.

Chic boho is slowly but surely becoming a regular style in my fashion repertoire. This weekend’s rendition consisted of a maxi skirt and platform sandals. Maxi skirts are perfect for California weather. You can wear them all year round, as long as you change up the shoes accordingly (see post Winter Pastels). For the day in Yountville, I styled a blue ornate maxi with a white racerback tank and platform sandals – a look that is easy to replicate with items already in your closet. I incorporated a blue crop top to create dimension and beaded bangles to funk things up. A glass of vino will forever be my favorite fashion accessory.

Now that you know what to wear in Yountville, stay tuned to hear more about the food. In the meantime, shop this post below.
