The Real Wine Country

Hi. I'm in Napa. Okay, just kidding. This is kind of an old post - about 3 months old to be exact, but whatever, better late than never! Recently, i went to Napa for the first time and frankly, it wasn't anything that would get my panties in a bundle for. There is winery after winery and restaurants that rob your wallet for all they're worth, but i still appreciate it for what it is. After extensive research, we decided to stay at Churchill Manor B&B; plus, we couldn't get a reservation at our other desired location on such late notice. It was super suite. tehehe.

Ah, is it wrong that I couldn't wait to sleep?
There was such Plush bedding, a vintage tub, cute daybed and a view that overlooked the garden three stories below. We were also given complimentary wine and cheese tastings at the B&B at 5:00 PM and woke up to a DELICIOUS breakfast on the patio with our tasty (and strong) mimosas - forget the coffee! It was quite the relaxing experience. Now, to spare you the details and mush, I'll just give you a picture narrative tour of my Napa experience with my wanna-be pimp daddy.
1.We started at Domaine Carneros because it was on the way to our B&B! A spontaneous decision,


2. The tiny grapes we saw during the tour of the place. I think it was only about 25 bucks to go through the factory with generous wine tasting. They had very informative staff! Absolutely loved the place.

3. Cambo girls can jump. I want a castle :(

4. Awww.. Ugh. The pretty girl and the mediocre boy. It also ends up like this. Eh. I'll just go with the flow. :P

All done and arriving at our beautiful B&B, Churchill Manor. Totally 5+++ stars!


The complimentary wine and snacks on the patio from 5-6 PM and we went to dinner at the local culinary school where the graduates work (no amateurs!) It was still as pricey as any other restaurant and the food was tasty, but i would consider eating elsewhere in the future.

Morning time=Breakfast time! The most delicious muffins were served as well as the fruit and yogurt you see below. They had two menu options: French toast or Quiche. We obviously got one of each and shared; they were super tasty.


Fruit and yogurt starter and muffins

After breakfast, we went to Artesa Winery, where we met the coolest sommelier. Cheap wine tastings with an amazing view. Can't miss this one for sure! It's definitely one of the most futuristic wineries compared to the others.

After you get your tasting, you can go to the patio and enjoy the view of the vineyard.


On our way to V. Sattui (The last Winery) We stopped in Yountville for some Bouchon Bakery!
Nutter Butter, Signature Brownie and Caramel Macaron all made by the same chef of French Laundry. Because we were so full from the cheese and wine and sandwiches we left no room for dessert! sad face. Then, i left it at the bf's house and it was history from there.



V Sattui picnic with our Riesling summer wine and deli sandwiches. One of the coolest and relaxing wineries we visited. I would totally come here again in a heartbeat!

Thanks to my W.B.P.D for wining and dining me <3
