Summer vacation, ahhh. Only a few months late. We just returned from a week in Sonoma, California. What a wonderful trip full of wine tasting, good food, and beautiful fall colors in the vineyards. I highly recommend the Vintners Inn as a lodging location near Santa Rosa. It consists of three two-story buildings that house the rooms, which results in a cozy, private-like setting. Our room overlooked the vineyard and had a petite patio on which to lounge and enjoy the fall colors. Importantly, it also had a jogging path through the surrounding vineyards. After all the tasting and eating, we definitely wanted to take advantage of an exercise option in the idyllic setting. However, instead of their breakfast, which didn't rank high on my list, go to Flying Goat Coffee in Santa Rosa or Healdsburg. Delicious coffee and pastries are available. I also sampled espresso at Bad Ass Coffee because it sounded fun. Turns out it wasn't much to look at other than the cute ass logo, which didn't come out too well in the photo, but the espresso was very, very good.
From one stimulant to another...the wine tasting is outstanding in Sonoma - over 70 wineries to visit. Needless to say, we didn't quite get to them all. The sights also delighted. From salmon swimming up streams to beautiful gardens and a bronze wild pig statue. Next post....all the wines we tasted and falling in love with Pinot. Enjoy a few winery pics in the meantime!
