Al & I love this cute little town a couple of miles down the road - shops and restaurants galore!
Trefethen Family Vineyards is truly a special spot. Not only is it situated in the most iconic part of Napa, Oak Knoll District, but it is also run a dear college friend, Hailey. Perfect location to stop at on your up or your way back from Calistoga. The ground are gorgeous and tasting room is truly unique.
Uncle Pete's recommendation for the best time in a garage.
Heidi's dear friend Oprah ranks Model Bakery's English Muffins as one of her favorite things. She was quoted at saying flying in these English Muffins is 'her biggest luxury'. Indulge in Oprah's biggest luxury.
You’ve seen the movie, now go taste the wine! Reservations required.
For those with bucket list eating dreams looking to squeeze something in around the big day. This is for the serious foodies out there! And it’s just a few miles down the road. Start calling three months out for a reservation, or use your Amex Concierge.
The other uber-foodie choice these days is Single Thread. They just got their third Michelin and I’m told it’s phenomenal. https://singlethreadfarms.com/
Yummy meal we enjoyed so much!
Step into the past and explore the giant petrified redwoods that were turned to stone 3.4 million years ago by a volcanic eruption. A wonderful non-wine related thing to do in Sonoma County! No dinosaurs.
We don't like Cider but some people do.
Fun if you're into beer and having fun.
A fabulous local coffee shop if you're looking for something more interesting than Starbucks. We've done quite a bit of our wedding planning here! While you're here check out the rest of The Barlow.
Roadside stop for some pre-or-post wine tasting snacks. It's a local favorite.
Another favorite casual setting for lunch or drinks, and you'll get to explore downtown Santa Rosa.
Very chi-chi Winery with a great space and beautiful fancy wines.
Another great stop close by downtown Calistoga. Enjoy their Pinot Noir and Merlot in a pleasant tasting room environment with a beautiful garden.
Ride the wine gondola! up to the winery and taste some wonderful wines while enjoying a stellar view of Napa Valley. The tasting is set up like a mini-tour, so you'll get to see some wine making equipment on your way.
Wander the California castle, watch the farm animals and sip on some wine.
