Travel Tuesday: Napa Valley

So for the second half of our honeymoon, we headed out to Napa Valley ( this is Katelyn speaking if you didn't catch on ;). Alex is the aficionado in wine so I let him take the reigns on this portion of our trip. Our first tour was with Opus Winery. Their equipment was top notch and really impressive and their terrace was absolutely beautiful. I tried to not embarrass Alex by taking too many photos, but I simply couldn't resist here.

  

I'm salivating just looking at this photo below.

Alex is a manager at a restaurant here in Grand Rapids at six.one.six so he set up a few tastings with us at different wineries. Out of all the wineries we went to, I think we would both agree that Celani Vineyards stood out the most. There is no tasting room for their vineyard, but we were able to visit the property and taste some wines. We were in love with the gorgeous grapes, the fantastic wine, but mostly the genuine hospitality. Don't get me wrong, I love wine, but the company and situation make or break a wine for me and we were in the best company here. We loved being able to drive up and down the roads and stopping at places we recognized along the way.

Here we are at our fancy dinner date at Bottega. It was SO good! Alex had the most delicious risotto with salmon, while I got the pasta carbonara. I highly recommend it to all the foodies out there.
