Domaine Carneros is a French-inspired chateau & formal gardens are known for their still and sparkling wine. They had an outdoor terrace overlooking the vineyard and beautiful gardens. The Château sample is great because it comes with a glass of sparkling wine, rose sparkling wine, and two reds. #vineyard #napavalley #california #usa https://www.instagram.com/p/CY31FmzjgPc/ Wine grapes have seeds and thicker skins, and they tend to be sweeter because the sugars will be turned into alcohol during fermentation. Before all the wildfires that tore through Napa Vally wineries, wine tasting in Napa and Sonoma valleys was free. #napavalley #california Happy Friday! I wish I was back in Napa Valley at this vineyard.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Farmstead At Long Meadow Ranch at Napa Valley is known for its fresh ingredients from their farm, cattle ranch, and vineyards. We had their fantastic crispy green beans (16 USD) and smoked vinegar mayo-based chicken wings (18 USD) to start. We also shared the main Smoked Grass-Fed Beef Hash (30 USD) and cheddar biscuits (9 USD) but the appetizers were the stars of this lunch. #feedme #napavalley #california #usa The next stop on our California road trip is Napa Valley. There are about 1,700 wineries registered in Napa Valley. However, only more than 400 wineries are open for tasting. About 170 new wineries have registered each year since 2015. My new blog includes my list of wineries to check out in Napa Valley. #napavalley #wineries #California #usa Taft Point is a 2.2 miles round-trip hike with views of the Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Fall, and El Capitan below. This was another one of my favorite views from this park but also one of the scarier one. Depending on where you stand, it's about a 2,000 feet drop. #yosemite #nationalpark #california #usa El Capitan is over 3,000 feet high in granite land formation. During the fall and spring, you’ll find rock climbers scaling El Capitan. In addition, you’ll be able to see the Lower and Middle Cathedral Rock, and the Cathedral Spires from El Capitan Meadow. This is also a great spot for sunsets according to others. #yosemite #nationalpark #california #usa Glacier Point overlook at an elevation of 7,214 feet has panoramic views of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and Yosemite’s high country. This is only accessible by car from late Spring through October or November and it's a quick walk from the parking lot. #yosemite #nationalpark #california #usa⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lower Yosemite Falls trail is an easy 1-mile trail that ends with a view of North America's tallest 2,450 feet waterfall. If you want to see the waterfall at its fullest, you’ll want to come in April and May. However, if you come during the summer month, you may be able to hike up to the falls if you are willing to climb on top of all the rocks. #yosemite #nationalpark #california #usa
