After a much needed night of rest we were refreshed and ready to head out for some serious tasting! We had the best breakfast at our B and B, grabbed a map and headed out. The morning met us with a slight drizzle and lots of fog but we soon discovered how beautiful it was in the vineyards.
Our first stop of many was beautiful and tasty! We enjoyed the wine, the views, and some time together as husband and wife! (yikes, I sound like we are newlyweds or something!)
The fall colors were unbelievable! Most of the grapes were off the vines already due to a lot of rain the week before we got there but we did find a few that were as tasty as they were beautiful.
We spent our morning exploring the area and hitting vineyards that were recommended to us. We had a great lunch at a funny little shop that seemed like it was from a different century but had the best food.
Our afternoon included a tour of a vineyard that had us hiking up into the fields,
tasting grapes,
and watching a "punch down" of wine to be.
Our day finished with an amazing drive to the Napa area (we stayed in Sonoma) to go to the restaurant Bottega. We went with our friend's the Vicinanzo's from Alabama. Needless to say it was a night filled with laughter and the best food of our lives!
