Napa Farms Market
A Taste of Wine Country, Right at the Terminal
Napa Farms Market was launched in 2010 with a mission to redefine airport food by bringing Northern California’s best farm-fresh ingredients, gourmet meals, and artisan products to travelers passing through San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Located inside Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, the market highlights local growers, regional winemakers, and small-batch producers from the Napa Valley, Sonoma, and the greater Bay Area.
For more wine-country ambiance, head to Gibson Farm Market for boutique artisanal treats. The concept was built on the vision of creating a “mini farmers market” where people on the go could experience California’s rich food culture even during a layover. Over the years, Napa Farms Market has evolved into a culinary landmark within SFO, showcasing the freshest regional ingredients in a grab-and-go format without compromising quality or sustainability.
