I'm so lucky to live just an hour and a half away from lush green vineyards and delicious tasting goodness! A few weekends ago Michele, Ana and I took a trip up there for a solid weekend of wine, food and girl talk. Great times =)
Ana, Michele, and I outside Del Dotto Estate Winery
If you ever get a chance to come up to this beautiful area, here are a few of the places we visited this time:
- Marriott Napa: Michele found an awesome deal through Travelzoo and the Marriott Napa worked perfectly for our little weekend trip.
- Regusci Winery: This is always one of our favorite places. So much in fact, we went there twice in that weekend. Nevermind the tastings - enjoy a bottle or two on their lovely front patio.
- Peju Winery: This is usually one of our favorites, but we were a little disappointed this time. Still, it's a lovely setting and you must try the easy-to-drink Provence (per the Hubby's request, we stocked up on more of these bottles)
- Cuvee Restaurant: Delicious food and drinks. The mussels were outstanding!
- Del Dotto Estate Winery: $30 tasting is well-worth it! Served with chocolate and three kinds of cheese. Everything was shipped from Italy to create this magical place! Next time I'm going to try the Cave Tasting Tour...
- Mustard's Grill: They might have the best Bloody Mary's out there, and I don't even like Bloody Mary's! Must try their namesake mustard. Yummy!
- Napa Outlet Shopping: My list wouldn't be complete without one shopping experience. It's a tiny outlet, just a few stores worth hopping into, but it's perfect because no one wants to spend their day in Napa shopping!
- And, although we didn't make it there this time, I need to add Darioush to the list because it's another one of my absolute favorite wineries!
You all look so stylish! When my friends and I go to vineyards (out on Long Island) we are wearing jeans or shorts and whatever random shirts we decide to wear.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Napa but I would love to go. It is hard to justify going from NYC to Napa when just an hour or so east are the vineyeards of Long Island, however.
You are all so chic!!
ReplyDeleteWe are taking a SF/Napa or Sonoma -haven't decided/Monterey vaca in the summer... I got the Husband tickets to the US Open for his wedding gift... I will be book marking this post to help us plan! Keep up the rec's!
I second the Napa Outlets! Best outlets ever. I also love Bouchon & Bouchon bakery!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Napa Valley, but hope to schedule something in a year or two. ALways loving your outfits.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great girls' trip! I gotta try Mustard's Grill next time. The hubs planned a Napa trip for my birthday earlier this year. We had lunch at Bouchon then walked over to the bakery for a snack afterwards. We stayed at these cute Cottages of Napa Valley.
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit!! Where is the skirt from? Thanks for suggestion on the booties! =)
You 3 looked fab and this sounds like such a fun weekend! Next time I venture off of my coast and onto yours, Napa is definitely on my list! :)
ReplyDeleteYou and your girl-friends all looking fab....
ReplyDeleteI went to Del Dotto Winery last time I was in Napa! I also agree with Bouchon. And of course, French Laundry, if you can swing it. =)
