Best of the City 2026: Best Honey of a Hive
Round, subtle hints of vanilla toffee or brown sugar? The dark, spicy heft of molasses and prunes? Wine has its place on the tip of our tongues, but at the 2.8-acre, net-zero-energy Hive Tasting Room and Kitchen in Woodland, the creative descriptions of tasting notes are all about that sweet (or sometimes savory) golden nectar: honey. With a tasting bar set against a sculptural backdrop of old bee boxes, and handy flavor charts created by UC Davis’ Honey and Pollination Center, The Hive—which will celebrate its fifth anniversary on Nov. 14 with a party, warehouse sale and free concert hosted by the owning Zeldner family—offers nearly 40 varieties of honey to sample, along with mead flights. Where to start? Try the avocado honey. Trust us, it’s bee-licious. thehivewoodland.com.

The Food Scene Redefining Wine Country
When you sit by the Napa River with good food, great company, and no rush, it feels more European than Californian. People laugh, walk around, and enjoy a city full of restaurants, art galleries, and small wine-tasting rooms often close together. A relaxed vibe is everywhere. While Napa is known for its wine, its food scene is changing what the city offers. Visitors are exploring Napa City for its skilled chefs, fresh local ingredients, world flavors, and a casual dining and lifestyle style locals call “Napa Cool.”
