Napa Valley / Sonoma Expert

Tasting room patio

My favorite place in the United States is Napa Valley (and nearby Sonoma). I had the pleasure of travelling to Napa in 2012 for the first time and immediately fell in love with the scenery, the food, and the wine. I really didn't know much about wine and was eager to learn. After that first trip, my husband and I started visiting Napa more and more; eventually we decided to move within an hour from Napa.

Once we moved to the area, we spent an incredible amount of time in both Napa and Sonoma.That's actually when I started planning vacations for people: friends and family would call and say they would want to visit and spend a few days in Napa or Sonoma - what would I recommend? There is something for everyone in Napa and Sonoma so I would find out specifics on types of wine they drank (or maybe they really didn't drink much wine but wanted to learn more about it); types of food they liked, etc. I never planned the same trip twice! With over 400 wineries in Napa Valley alone, there are countless ways to keep a trip exciting and fun. I've even planned trips to both Napa and Sonoma with children in tow (yes, it is possible)!

It's not just about wine: the food is incredible! There are so many restaurants that are hidden gems that I can't wait to tell you about!

Because the Napa and Sonoma areas so vast, and there are so many wineries and restaurants, it can be an overwhelming trip to plan. Let me use my expertise of the area and my connections for you to enjoy a carefree trip to one of my favorite places!
