After our whirlwind day in the city, we got up bright and early (like meet at 8am) and headed to Napa for a fun day full of tastings! We all piled in a 15 passenger van (no lie) with our coffee and headed to the valley!
Since it was so early, we started off with bubbles at Mumm Napa. We got a few different tastings so we got to taste all their different sparkling wines. It was such a beautiful day out in the valley. Of course, we took tons of pics!
haha, how awkward are we? |
Next we headed to Auberge du Soleil (again! We love this place) for lunch. Since we were on a tight schedule, we ate and headed out to our next stop.
Garguilo Vineyards- This was by far my favorite stop of the day, and possibly my new favorite. The grounds were just beautiful and the wines were delish!
Next up was V Madrone. CL absolutely fell in love with their petite syrah. I won't disagree with him!
Our fourth and final stop was Lava Vine. This place was just fun. It's super laid back which is a nice change from all the other wineries. We had a seriously good time while we were there- CL even played a little bass!
At this point, we had gotten a little rowdy. I mean, we closed the joint down. There was wild, loud laughter, some spilled olive oil, kisses from the wine guys, and tiny bicycles. Fun, I tell ya, fun.
Yup, thats my Grandmother. Double fisting. Proud granddaughter right here! |
See? told ya, absolutely silly. |
I LOVE my grandparents! |
On the way home we stopped in Sausalito for dinner at Salito's Crab House and Prime Rib on the water. Veronica and I looked at each other and were like "Crab?!" and yes, the two of us devoured two delicious, ginormous crabs. They were goooooood!
After dinner, we headed home for a good nights rest! Drinking all that wine is hard work! ;)
The final days 4 &5 up next! Stay tuned!
