Wine Country and San Francisco

This year Luke and I have been traveling a ton! We figured since we both have jobs that often take us to fun places, we should take advantage of all the discounted trips and make fun vacations out of them!

Over Memorial Day weekend, Luke and I took a trip out to wine country in California. Each year for work, my team has a chance to win a quota trip and we won! So, we were able to take our spouses on an all expenses paid trip to wine country! It was absolutely amazing! We had so much fun learning the history of Napa and Sonoma Valley and now have a better appreciation for the years of work that goes into each bottle of wine.

Our favorite winery was Ledson, which is a beautiful castle-like vineyard in Sonoma and our favorite wines were the Muscat, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. What can we say? We love the sweet stuff! Highlights from the trip included riding in a wine train across Napa and having dinner at the Culinary Institute. Great food and MORE great wine!

After we had finished in wine country, we also spent a few days in San Francisco. We got to tour Alcatraz and walk along the beautiful bay to the Golden Gate Bridge.
