  • Hi loves, it's been a min since my last travel vlog so on this road trip to Sonoma and Napa Valley I took my camera to document our trip. I hope you enjoy this vlog!
    I N S T A G R A M: / sonagasparian
    Wineries we visited:
    Robert Mondavi: While this place is beautiful, it felt pretty commercial to be totally honest. I think it's still worth checking out since it's one of the biggest wineries in Napa.
    Kelham Vineyards: This was one of our favorite experiences. It's family owned and feels very quaint. We had lunch here with some of the best unfiltered wine. So good!
    Domaine Carneros: We went here for champaign tasting and it was so nice! I def. recommend checking it out if you're into champaign. They also serve snacks which helps when you're drinking so much. The views were also so beautiful.
    Ram's Gate: This was another one of my favorite experiences. We did a three course wine and food pairing and the food was unreal. Seriously so good! The wine is delicious and the property is stunning.
    Hall Winery: The property is beautiful but felt a bit commercial. They only serve red wine, which i'm not a fan of. I personally didn't love the experience but if you like red wine, you might enjoy it.
    Hotels we stayed in
    MacArthur in Sonoma. Super cute hotel and the food was great.
    Villagio in Yountville. Prime location, cute hotel but I would try something different next time. Maybe their sister property, the vintage house.
    Restaurants:
    Most hotels include breakfast so we mostly ate at our hotels.
    MacArther hotel has a great restaurant for dinner.
    The Girl & The Fig in Sonoma. Cute, good food.
    Farmstead: OMG Such good comfort food and super cute in Napa
    Auberge Du Soleil: Gorgeous hotel in Napa with great food and beautiful views.
    Bouchon in Yountville: So yummy and it totally feels like you're in Europe. Highly recommend eating here.
    Bottega Napa Valley: Amazing Italian food. Try to make reservations to sit outside. Super cute.
    RH in Yountville: Such a stunning place and amazing food.

    I live in Sonoma County and I have a few recommendations if you come back to this area. St. Francis Winery has an awesome food and wine pairing. Kenwood Inn and Spa is a great place to stay nearby. Ledson Winery is a beautiful castle like winery in that area. The town of Healdsburg is nice also. There’s lots of wineries, shops and restaurants. Ferrari Carano is a winery with beautiful views that’s not too far from downtown. Glad you enjoyed your time here!
