There's no mistaking what the Oxbow Public Market is about: it's food, more food (wine, too).

Tenants include second (or third) locations of many local favorites such as Taylor's Automatic Refresher (burgers), Model Bakery and The Olive Press, along with other artisan food shops. Seasonal farmstands located outside offer fresh produce, and you'll find plenty of choices for a meal, or to enjoy a glass of wine and a snack.

If you've been to the Ferry Building market in San Francisco, you won't find much new at the Oxbow Public Market, but it is an excellent addition to downtown Napa, an area long bypassed by visitors which is slowly improving.
