Napa Day 3

Saturday in St. Helena started at Gillwoods for breakfast! California Benedict of course! 

Our driver Travis picked us up and we headed to AXR. Wow this was an incredible experience. Ritchie who hosted us was an absolute HOOT! The interior design of all of the buildings was on point. 

And pics in the redwoods! 




The wine was amazing. The simple kettle chips with sheep Gouda from Whole Foods finely grated over it was so good. 


Next up was lunch at farmstead. It was delicious. It's also the place to see and be seen. Such a vibe. 

I'll dream about the deviled eggs forever. 

Second winery of the day was Taylor Family Vineyards with Danielle and Nana! Such a special place right at their home. 

Saturday night we had a quick turnaround and had cocktail hour with Walt and Katherine, with her famous guac. She mixes sour cream and salsa with avocado and done! Isn't she beautiful? Inside and out!


This night we had dinner at their favorite restaurant called The Market in downtown St. Helena. It was wonderful and such a locals spot. Loved it!

Their amazing property. 





Sunday morning we were up super early for our ride back to San Fran. We got to watch the sun rise while going over the Golden Gate Bridge. Our driver showed us some amazing neighborhoods on our way to the airport. 

Overall the trip was amazing. We have 37 bottles of wine heading our way from 5 wineries. Those will be awesome to receive. It was great time away with Kevin and our next door peeps that we do a lot of life with. It was truly a once in a lifetime trip!

Don't worry, it wasn't all rainbows and sunshine. There was a lot of stress and worry leading up to leaving town. Childcare is very tough for us with no family that can keep them nearby. My Saturday/Sunday babysitter canceled on me the afternoon before we left. That threw me for a HUGE loop. Got it figured out thanks to an amazing gal but whewwwww. Mills is also a whole situation to leave/board right now. Thankful for his golden retriever camp that love him so much. And basically my life does not exist without Julie, my kid's other Mom, who made all of the things happen so we could go!

No more Kevin and I trips for awhile! Soooo hard to leave right now and that's okay!
