Beyond Healdsburg

Sonoma Valley

From Downtown Sonoma to Kenwood and all the way up to Healdsburg, Sonoma Valley is our absolute favorite place for wine tasting. We love to stay at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn or MacArthur Place. Some of our most favorite wineries include Repris, Kamen Estate & B.Wise. After a little too much wine, we ended up members at a few of these spots!

Napa Valley

My first trip with Jake & his family was to Napa Valley for Jake’s 21st birthday. We did some tastings at B.Cellars & Cuvasion, and a long lunch at Mustard’s - still some of my favorite memories & meals together! We returned to the valley many times - whether it was for Bottlerock Music Festival & a stop at our favorite oyster bar Hog Island Oyster to our 3rd year anniversary dinner at Bistro Jeanty or more recently, wedding venue hunting with my mom and one of the best meal’s we’ve ever had at The Charter Oak.- there are endless gems to explore should you extend your trip here!
