Napa Valley
We arrived Thursday night in San Fran and stayed close to airport. The next morning, we rented a van and made our way to the Napa Valley area, visiting wineries along the way until we arrived in Calistoga. Our first stop was Domaine Carneros - it's such a beautiful Chateau and the bubbles are delish! Our next stop was Oakville Grocery for some yummy sandwiches. There is a wine store adjacent to the grocey where you select a glass from a huge variety of wines. In the market, there are a lot of fun things to look at and a great spot to buy souvenirs. I picked up some balsamic onion jam that is delicious. We made our way to Far Niente which is gorgeous and their wines are fabulous. Their bottles are a bit more pricey but recently opened Bella Union which is geared for the new wine connoisseur and younger crowd. It's a pretty cool/hip place to check-out. We stayed at Dr. Wilkinson's Backyard Resort which is retro and chic. Dinner at Bricco Osteria - within walking distance. The food was good and they catered to our 21 year olds!
