saying goodbye to the golden bridge and on our way to napa



our B&B- The Candlelight Inn in Napa, CA




our first wine tasting: Rubicon Winery (FFC's winery)
Beautiful!!






second day, we took a tour called platypus wine tour. they drove us around all day to four wineries, provided us lunch and dropped us back at our hotel. it was a lot of fun!

the first winery came with a cave tour!!







the third had their own goats! Cafe Neustra




the last was the big tourist attraction- a real castle
Castella di Amorosa





the bar



on our last day, we stopped by the hess collection


we explored the two floor art gallery before making our way over to the tasting room
i think overall, it was my favorite tasting
i loved all the wines i tried there, and the guy that helped us was extra nice, friendly and wasn't in a rush to serve or sell to a bunch of people.
also, the grounds were beautiful.




Thanks for reading!
