Napa Valley Valentines Day!

Ok so I know it may not be the most original since we went last year also, but we did Napa again for Valentines this year!  We had such a good time last year that we wanted to do it again this year, and Ashley's sister and her boyfriend were able to come with us this trip for their first time in Napa so it made the trip great!

I'm going to have to consult Ashley for the list of Wineries we hit, (I want to say 4 the first day and maybe 5 the second day) but here are some highlights from the trip.


We started the trip at Frog's Leap Winery which is absolutely amazing as it is completely sustainable and I am influenced by my good friend Riley that sustainability is a good thing! Anyhow, they have a barn and a little hoop set up that if you make the shot you win a little prize (A Frogs Leap poster) after watching a half dozen misses or so, I calmly stepped up and hit my first shot since Christmas. Good times there!

Not as much a fan of the wine so much as a fan of their establishment at Sterling Winery, you take a tram ride up to the estate itself, then the views from there are amazing.  We hit there last year, but just went again primarily for the view, a really pretty place in Napa.


 
We hit Duckhorn Winery the second day there, first thing in the morning and it was the absolute best winery we were at the whole time.  Generous pours, the absolute best wine, and a pretty place too, so glad we stopped there and even though it was a little more pricey than we're accustomed too we got a couple bottles from there and they are DIVINE!

A little bright here, I believe this was at Peju, one of our final wineries of the trip, but a great stop nonetheless.
Just a beautiful place in the world, absolutely love staying up there it is a great time always!
