My Year In Review: NAPA

“If you’re tired you take a nap-a, you don’t move to Napa”

Rounding out my trip in San Francisco my friend and I rented a car and drove a couple hours outside of the city to Napa. Technically we stayed in Vallejo, across the street from Six Flags. It was pretty creepy because no one was ever at Six Flags at all, never saw any employees or anything.

I don’t think pictures do Napa justice of how breathtakingly beautiful it is. We only got to do tastings/tours of 2 vineyards, which is all we could fit into one day, but we did get to drink a lot of wine. Since Napa is such a small town everyone seems to know each other. Each vineyard is in direct competition but they all are friends and even sometimes work together.

Majority of the restaurants out there only use fresh, organic, locally grown products (which is awesome). I did go have some sushi at Marimoto Napa which is owned by Iron Chef Marimoto. Also had dinner at a little French restaurant named Angele. When I go back to Napa I definitely need to stay longer because 2 days wasn’t nearly long enough.
