Corridor Callout: Browns Valley Center

There’s no doubt that our local small businesses bring vitality and charm to Napa! The Browns Valley Center on the west side of the city (off Browns Valley Road and Austin Way) is a great reminder that there are more Napa hotspots than just in the Downtown area.

If you're looking to start your morning with some pampering, grab a tasty breakfast and coffee at the Browns Valley Yogurt & Espresso Bar before heading to your appointment at Bella Capelli SalonSpa, which was a Kérastase Top 100 salon in 2020.

Need to run a few errands instead? As a family & specialized pediatric dental practice, Browns Valley Dental can serve your entire family's needs in one location. The family-owned Browns Valley Cleaners has been in the clothes cleaning business in the Napa Valley since 1972. They offer alteration and repair services, and even one-hour cleaning for emergencies.

While you are here, you owe it to yourself to visit the flagship of the Browns Valley Center: the Browns Valley Market, owned and operated by the Giovannoni family. Now boasting the largest full-service meat counter in Napa Valley, Browns Valley Market opened in 1980, built on the family property in which the owner and his seven brothers and sisters were raised. In addition to their high-quality selection of meats (including poultry and seafood), Browns Valley Meat offers custom meat processing, including wild game.

Pro Tip: if it's getting too hot outside, you can always duck back into Browns Valley Yogurt & Espresso Bar to grab some frozen yogurt!

If you're visiting in the late afternoon or evening, you'll want to grab a parking spot before the Hop Creek Pub fills up. This pet-friendly gastropub offers a "locally sourced menu, coupled with unique craft beers, spirits and wine." Napa locals know not to miss out on their "Hoppier Hours" from 2pm-6pm, Monday through Friday, for deals on appetizers, house wines and beers.
