The Top 3 Barbecue Near Four Seasons Napa Valley
-
Rank 1. Farmstead
Barbecue
Farmstead is the Napa Valley barbecue joint that actually wants you to relax. A working ranch owns the place, and the smoker parked out front means you smell dinner before you see it. Inside, cathedral ceilings and old-school country music fill the room with locals who've clearly been coming for years. The food is honest, the wine list is Napa, and the vibe is the closest thing to unpretentious this zip code gets.

Rank 3. Pig in a Pickle
Barbecue
A Bib Gourmand BBQ counter in a suburban shopping center sounds like a punchline, but Pig in a Pickle earns the recognition. The team cares deeply about sourcing, which you can read on the chalkboard before you order at the counter. Pulled pork, smoked brisket, dry-rubbed ribs, and even the mac and cheese all get real attention. Families and flannel-clad regulars who know exactly what they want before they walk in.
