If ever there was a family winery, V. Sattui would be it. The bucolic stone buildings are surrounded by 2.5 acres of picnic grounds, where visitors can sit down at a picnic table with a bottle of wine and goods from the on-site deli, featuring over 200 cheeses, cured meats, sandwiches and the most incredible meatballs. The St. Helena winery offers a varied selection of wines—primarily from Estate Vineyards in Napa Valley—ranging from a bright and crisp Dancing Egg riesling to a smokey Anderson Valley pinot. Become a member and you'll be able to sample (and buy) wine futures—wines that have been made but not yet bottled.
How to visit: V. Sattui is open seven days a week from 9am to 6pm. A six-wine flight tasting is $15; food can be purchased from the winery's deli. No reservations required.
In short: Family-friendly, fantastic food, wide selection of varietals
