One Stop Shopping at Oxbow Public Market in Napa

Oxbow Public Market

Oxbow Public Market has been a mainstay for shopping and dining in downtown Napa since 2007. Since its opening, the market has evolved into a community gathering space that celebrates the bounty of the Napa Valley’s harvest, products, and purveyors. Oxbow Public Market is truly a one-stop shop—it’s not just anywhere that you can have a glass of bubbly and oysters on the half shell before stocking up your pantry with local goods and produce.

The airy and spacious 40,000 square-foot marketplace is home to 22 merchants, each independently owned and operated. Visitors will find a large deck with seating overlooking the Napa River, as well as indoor spots and bar service at many of the restaurants. Wood-fired pizza, creative burgers, charcuterie and cheese boards, tacos, and ice cream are just the beginning of the culinary choices here at Oxbow Public Market.

Our Napa Valley Bed and Breakfast is only two miles from Oxbow Public Market and the other exciting attractions of the downtown area. The location of our elegant Inn puts you nearby all of the best there is to do in Napa, but you’re set back on our peaceful grounds surrounded by a grove of Redwoods and our lush, manicured gardens. We’re honored to be recognized by previous guests as one of the highest-rated bed and breakfasts in the Napa Valley year after year.

Come indulge for yourself and book your next getaway to our Napa Valley B&B today!

Great Finds at the Oxbow Public Market in Napa Valley

There are so many great things to discover at Oxbow Public Market that guests often make more than one trip on their getaways in Napa. Whether you’re planning for a special picnic, shopping for souvenirs, or looking for lunch, the Market is the perfect spot to do it all.

Here are some of our favorite things to check out at Oxbow Public Market:

  • Oxbow Cheese and Wine Merchant: For a varied selection of imported and local cheeses and wine, you’ll find so many delightful options at this vendor. Find a seat at the wine bar for flights, charcuterie and cheese boards, and a chat with the knowledgable staff behind the counter.
  • Napa Valley Distillery: This micro-distillery produces small-batch spirits with a local twist. Their flagship creation is the Napa Vodka Vintage Reserve, made completely from single vintage Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Also be sure to check out their selection of bitters, some of which are very hard to find elsewhere in the US.
  • Hog Island Oyster Bar: Belly up at the oyster bar to watch master shuckers at work, serving bivalves on the half shell from the company’s own farm in Tomales Bay. You’ll also find simple and flavorful chowders and entrees featuring sustainably caught seafood and local produce.
  • Fieldwork Brewing: One of the most popular spots at Oxbow Public Market is this craft brewery based out of Berkeley CA. The tap list is ever-changing, but they generally have 10 or so beers on draft. Order a flight to really get a taste of their varied range of beer options.
  • Kara’s Cupcakes: The modern pastry case at Kara’s holds beautiful confections and flavorful cupcakes for a sweet treat on your visit to Oxbow Public Market. Grab some cookies, homemade marshmallows, or extra cupcakes to enjoy later at our Napa Valley Bed and Breakfast. Also check out Bar Lucia, their adjacent spot for a glass of bubbles or a light bite.
