Saturday was my younger sister Rebecca's Bachelorette Party!
One of my duties as Matron of Honor was to plan it (along with my sister, Elyse who is the Maid of Honor)
We asked Rebecca what she wanted to do for her Bachelorette & she said Wine Tasting in Napa with her bridesmaids and closest friends!
We all met at my house in the morning for coffee, bagels & mimosas:

We all met at my house in the morning for coffee, bagels & mimosas:
There were 14 of us going wine tasting. It was a mix of Rebecca's friends from childhood and her college friends from Cal Poly.
The Bride to be with her heart cup. Rebecca's birthday is in February & every single birthday party my mom threw her was a heart themed party. (Rebecca blogged about it here). Needless to say, Rebecca DOES not like hearts, at all...so of course, as her sisters we try and incorporate hearts whenever we can! Ha! We love you Beck!
After we had bagels & coffee....our limo arrived to take us to Napa!
The forecast originally called for rain, but it ended up being a beautiful California day!
If you have never been to Napa in early Spring, you are missing out!
The mustard & rolling green hills are GORGEOUS!
Because we had such a big group of girls, we were limited on what wineries we could go to. Not many wineries allow reservations for 14 people. We were thankful for the ones that did allow us to make reservations! Our first stop was Provenance Vineyards.
They had a little area in their tasting room reserved for us:
The Future Mrs. Baker!
Rebecca with Chrissy & Kristina. They have all been friends since elementary school & all 3 of them are getting married this year!
Rebecca with 2 of her college roommates from Cal Poly:
Sisters!
Our next stop was Louis M. Martini:
They had a special reserved spot for us in their cellar room. We had the whole cellar room to ourselves, it was dark & had a huge red table.
I felt like we were in a room that they would have used on The Bachelor! Ha!
Rebecca with Jason's cousin & half sister:
I am OBSESSED with this place....it is a fancy grocery store/kitchen store/fine food/deli & bakery all wrapped up under one roof!
Yum....
Waiting in line to order our lunch...they have the best sandwiches!
This is my favorite sandwich...pesto, turkey & provolone. I had it last time I was in Napa, a year ago and I have been craving another one ever since!
The weather was beautiful & we enjoyed our lunch outside on the patio:
The food was great & we had a beautiful view!
The whole group!
After lunch, we made one final stop at V.Sattui winery:
V. Sattui has such beautiful grounds & buildings.
We decided to do our wine tasting outside so that we could enjoy the weather.
We said good-bye to the beautiful green hills & mustard of Napa Valley & headed back to my house.....
Some of the girls took a power nap on the hour drive back to my house.
They needed to rest up because once we got back to my house, it was time for Rebecca's Bachelorette Shower!
We had a lovely day wine tasting in Napa celebrating Rebecca!
Napa is one of my favorite places...if you haven't been, you should definitely go one day!
That looks like the perfect bachelorette party! Such pretty scenery and fun times wine tasting!

ReplyDeleteIt's funny to see your pictures. I live in Germany. Therefore when I think of wine tasting, I see very old buildings with dark cellars and rustic inventory. =)
