This past weekend was my first trip to Napa and I have to say that the breathtaking views and exquisite cuisine live up to all the hype. The rolling hillsides and mountain tops full of of grape vines are nothing short of picturesque. The endless world class dining options make it impossible to decide where to start!
First stop on our romantic weekend was Pride Mountain Vineyards. At 2000 feet above Napa and deep into the mountains, you feel like you're sitting on top of the world at this winery. The views are spectacular stretching as far as the eye can see. We toured the caves and enjoyed the tasting of their chardonnay, merlot and cabernets.

Sitting out on the festively decorated porch at Ristorante Allegria we enjoyed some savory pasta and crab cakes.
And finally we enjoyed a long soak in our massive bathtub in our Andaz suit. I must say that the hospitality at Andaz was wonderful and they pour you a glass of chardonnay upon arrival! Not too shabby for a Napa novice.

Next stop was a tasting at Silver Oak in Oakville, CA. This winery has beautiful grounds and some very delicious cabernets. They also sent us home with some elegant wine glass souvenirs!
Rumors of delicious donuts and bacon bloody marys brought us to the Boon Fly Cafe for brunch. We had morning cocktails while enjoying a bucket of doughnuts and to die for eggs benedict covered with jalapeño hollandaise sauce.
