Day 3 -- Napa

After a little bit of a rough evening on Friday...I was up and ready to go the next day. First stop...Cakebread!





I would highly recommend the educational/taking tour...I felt like I learned different things on this tour than I did the other tours. The grounds are beautiful and the tasting room is on the second floor overlooking the vineyard.


After Cakebread we stopped by Gott's Drive-In...not your typical "drive-in" but it was great! The food was delicious and Chad's soup was more "gourmet" than your typical "drive-in" soup. It really hit the spot!




After refueling and making one other stop...the last vineyard on our list was Schramsburg...it was fantastic! The only sparkling wine tour on our trip and I'm glad we made time for it. The whole tour was given inside their wine caves which hold 2.8 million bottles at one time...700,000 are distributed each year. The tasting was done by candlelight...if you have time to make this stop, please add it to your list. Thanks to Chad, I will also be getting my Valentine's Day, Birthday and many other "Day" presents courtesy of Schramsburg's Wine Club...YAY!!! :)

This portion of the cave was about 10 feet+ wide and more than 150 feet deep; the sparkling wine was stacked like this the whole width and depth!

This evening we stayed at 1801 First...a little bed and breakfast where we stayed in a little cottage in back on the main house...it was super cute and the breakfast was very tastey!







For dinner we dined at Redd...HIGHLY recommended...both of our meals were superb, we loved it!

Day 4...heading to Jenner for a little lunch at River's End.
