V Marketplace

As far as I could tell, this place sells chocolate, wine, and Italian food. Maybe you can rent out the facility for a wedding.

Not sure why else you'd go here.

This was our first visit in a long time. It was beyond disappointing to see what the Marketplace has become. All the great shops are gone. The building is practically empty. I wasn't impressed by the high-priced restaurants in the surrounding area either. There's no reason to return to Yountville.

First time coming here. I won't be back.

I came here with a group of friends. It was a Friday afternoon, a couple groups outside but for the most part the entire place was empty with plenty of outside seating. We ordered wine and sat down at the table outside. It was a hot day and my friends wanted to enjoy a drink in the shade.

During our brief stay, 2 separate times employees aggressively came by to ask us if we ordered drinks from the shop. Presumably they wanted to kick us out of the outdoor space. The wine glasses in our hands should have been clear. After showing them the wine glasses the employees apologized and went away. But the manager (guy with a dog) kept coming back to peek and see if we were gone. After like 20 minutes the manager decides to dump a big water bowl in the grass a couple feet behind where my friend was sitting and the water splashed on her. There's plenty of places nearby to dump water, far from other people, he opted to dump it right behind my friend. Very strange experience, possibly racist. I didn't see any of the other people getting harassed but we were also the only minorities there.

Mr. Manager if you have an issue with paying customers sitting in your patio, talk to them. For sure don't peek around corners and dump water on them. Hopefully you can learn from this experience and treat all your customers equally.

V Marketplace is a convenient stop in downtown Yountville if you need some time to unwind around meal times. It has a nice big parking lot shared with Bottega, and is right across the street from Bouchon Bakery.

Inside you'll find lots of art galleries, boutique shops, and a few wine tasting rooms and famous Kollar's Chocolates. Like others mentioned, prices tend to be on the high side. Authentic Panama Hats and Fedoras can run $300 and up. Just last weak we bought a nice recycled paper hat at Oakland Art and Soul Fair for just $20!

The one store with decent selection and prices seems to be A Little Romance. My wife got some colorful scarfs here while I got a purple purse with an embroidered cat face for my sister's early B-Day present. They also stock purses and wallets made from cork! This renewable material might be the next big thing as a leather substitute!

No restrooms inside the marketplace. They have two public, unisex ones on the outside that are surprising clean! You'll also have to brave the lines at Bouchon Bakery for coffee, or head to Mini Model next door if you're early enough (they shut down at 3pm on weekends).

A shopping complex filled with chocolate, wine, art and gadgets for the kitchen (that always seem so practical at the time of purchase, and never get used)? Sounds like my kind of place!

V Marketplace, located in downtown Yountville, is another great splurge spot. Besides the Instagram worthy shops inside, there are some great places to eat (if you aren't fully stuffed at this point). You'll likely find gifts you had no idea even existed - chocolate sushi anyone?

V Marketplace is open daily from 10 AM - 5:30 PM. So pick up your last minute gifts before heading out -- and your weekend of pampering is through. It is fairly compact, and unless you're a big time shopper, it can easily make a quick diversion from all the wineries in the area.

Judging by the fact that nobody has even bothered to review this place recently tells you all that you need to know. This place is now practically empty, only four shops and a couple of restaurants on the premises. Very sad and not worth spending time at.

I like this shopping area in Yountville. One can browse shops with clothing, lingerie, household items, toys, hats, jewelry, and more, all in one spot. Especially nice during the winter. Nice quality represented in all the shops, friendly greetings throughout.
Perfect promenade!

Not quite sure what to think about the V Marketplace... on one hand, it's has gorgeous grounds that are great for picnicking. There are plenty of public bathrooms around and parking is super easy with their two parking lots. It's also near some of the best restaurants on the West Coast, and there's plenty of public art to see nearby on the walk. On the other hand, there isn't much to do inside of the V Marketplace as far as shopping. I'm disappointed there isn't more along the lines of culinary shopping or specialty shops related to food. It's mostly overpriced decorations and clothing for the 50+ community.

However, there are some gems to V Marketplace, such as the art galleries. Who needs an art museum when you can stroll through the art galleries? I highly recommend checking out the different galleries and variety of paintings they have on the 1st floor - they range from paintings of SF, to still life, and some landscape paintings of the wineries. The people running them are friendly and don't hover around to see if you'll buy something (though it may be because I don't look like someone who will drop $2k on a oil canvas painting). Please be respectful of the art galleries and do not take pictures! I know it's tempting, but it's disrespect to the artists.

The other gem here is Koller's Chocolate, which I like to stop by to admire the artistic quality of their chocolates (I wrote a separate review for them). At least this place has lots of Pokestops nearby. And they have tables outside for eating food that you bring, so it's a good place to chill while eating your Bouchon Bakery goods.

Very nice upscale shopping mall with 2 floors. They have a very nice wine shop V wines. Also Kollar Chocolates where they make it on the premise.

Some very nice galleries including a great glass gallery, North bay.

What a disappointment! There used to be so many cute shops to go to. It was a great place to buy unique gifts. Now, it's a mostly empty. So sad. It used to be such a great place with a large variety of shops. Another great local place ruined!
