Wine tasting or time wasting ?
... you only have time to visit one valley then Sonoma is the one, as it’s less snobby and more approachable than Napa. Apparently Sonoma Vinters (a new word I’ve learnt) consider themselves to be farmers. You also don’t have to get dressed ...
Rain and Wine -- in that order...
... rest of the day, we visited four more wineries and drove the entire length of the valley. In truth, the area of Napa is very compact -- which surprised me. Weekends are legendarily crowded but as it was Good Friday and raining, we were often ...
Wine, Wine Everywhere

Day 25 - Napa, California

Napa - Elm House Best Western
... jacket pocket, surely, after coming through security at SFO? Panic again and really couldn't find it this time. The drive to NAPA was very much in 'worry' mode. Happy ending though, it had slipped down between the passenger seat and the central ...
It's all about the wine
... tasting was held in Rhine House which was Beringers home. Nice house. I was very surprised how much I enjoyed our stay in the Napa Valley. I'm not a big wine lover but the overall experience was wonderful. Len loves his wine so it was a no brainer for ...
Our last day in the Napa valley

One last push north
... naar home depot op zoek naar Amerikaanse vlaggen. Een half uurtje en wat souvenirs later zette we onze tocht richting Napa verder. Onderweg naar het noorden maakten de sinaasappelbomen plaats voor enorme velden met gele bloemetjes. Deze velden waren ...
Venues and vineyards
On the road at 10 am to visit an event venue called Cornerstone. It is not a vineyard or winery but set in the midst of both. It has beautiful gardens...but I have learned that this part of CA specializes in beautiful gardens, . Cornerstones has several ...
From Chicago to Napa Valley
... to Napa Valley. It was so chill. It also has sort of a barren beauty to it, where the occasional vineyard driving into Napa is incredibly noticeable against the back brush. It makes it look really refined, with the perfect green rows of grape trees roped ...
Uggghhh, that's gross!!
So I'm sitting in a park, reading my book, eating my lunch. There's an almighty commotion going on over by the nearby water fountain - some kid is having a strop, looks like he's p@$!ed off with his older sister - she looks about 14. There's a million ...

Wonderful (and warm!) Napa
Tips for visiting SF: If you fail to dress warm enough for the trip to Napa valley try huddling beside the tour bus engine, the small amount of heat will warm you up. A true SF native never leaves home without a pair of gloves and a ...

Lil Wine Tasting
After San Fran we headed up to Napa with April and her friend Carlos for some wine tasting and dinner. We stopped at Cakebread and got a tour and then some not so exciting one. We got stuck in NASCAR traffic on the way out there so we didn't ...
