Today my friends and I took a road trip to Napa for some wine tasting! This was my first trip to Napa, we decided to go t a few wineries to get variety of samplings.
I learned a lot about why Napa is so famous for wine. Apparently the soil and climate in Napa is one of the most sustainable for growing the grapes needed for the wine. Thank you Matt & the man at the Rutherford Hill Winery for the learning moment!
Here are the wineries we went to:
Rutherford Hill Winery
Family owned winery off the beaten path with what is known to be best picnic spot in Napa
This was my first wine tasting and I was very happy with the selection - the wines here had nice fruity notes and were quite tasty. The outdoor setting was really relaxing and a perfect way to end the work week!
V. Sattui Winery
Voted 2020 Winery of the Year by San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge & Monterey International Wine Competition
We came here for a lunch picnic, the food did not disappoint! I ordered some Shrimp and Chicken Salad, which was delicious!
Priest Ranch Winery
A small tasting room for a much larger conglomerate owned by the family
The tasting room here was very cute and modern, however the wines were a bit more dry than what I like.
This trip, we went to 2 wine tastings - one at Rutherford Hill Winery and one at Priest Ranch Winery. Of the two, wineries Rutherford Hill was the clear favorite all around from the wine & hospitality to the gorgeous property and views.
