Best bets for brunch In Napa

A few of our favorites

Planning a trip to Napa Valley? There’s a good chance you’ll be sleeping in after a glorious day of wine tasting. Is there a better way to prepare for another adventurous day ahead than to partake in a beautiful brunch? We think not.

We’ve asked trusted locals (some of whom are on the Archer Hotel Napa team) for their suggestions on where to go in Napa for a yummy brunch. These spots earned the most recommendations.

01

Kitchen Door

Brunch is served 10 AM – 1 PM Saturday – Sunday in its First Street Napa home with the vibrant red doors. Led by famed chef Todd Humphries, the menu features seasonal, local, handmade comfort food with global influences. To try: Chilaquiles Rojos with tortilla, chili sauce, onion, Rancho Gordo pinquito beans, avocado queso fresco, chipotle lime crema, cilantro and sunny side up eggs.
