Napa Getaway (pic heavy)

[Carguy87]

Just got back from a quick getaway to Napa this week figured I’d share some pictures.

Heading out:






Had to stop for coffee at my better half’s request




Got into Napa Valley; first stop was Robert Mondavi for their “Legend Lunch”. Highly recommend! Service is by a sommelier that shares history of Napa along with the history of the Mondavi family. Very cool atmosphere and food was exceptional.










After lunch we headed for Castello di Amorosa. Super cool winery owned by the Sattui family that has been in Napa for decades. They built the whole castle from imported stones along with rock hewn from the local mountains. Completed in 2007 it feels very old and authentic inside (complete with dungeon and torture chamber lol) plus the wine was top notch!




















After the castle we settled into our room at Alila. This boutique hotel in St. Helena backs up to the Beringer winery and was an excellent stay with great views and very accommodating staff. Our room had a balcony overlooking the vineyard with a fire pit that came in quite handy as the valley cooled off in the evening.











After settling in we had dinner at Bouchon in Yountville. Delicious and made a nice alternative since I wasn’t able to score a reservation at French Laundry lol. The tartare was so good!









Next morning we had a lazy start around the hotel with in room breakfast (and finally getting to read the new Rolex magazine). From there we did some shopping and then headed for Far Niente for our last tour before heading back.
