A Dream Wedding

For all of us women out there I am sure we all have a picture in our head of our dream wedding, at our dream location, with our dream man. I'm 100% sure each one of our "dreams" are quite different, but I thought I would share my dream location to introduce the idea to some of you women out there who aren't sure exactly what you are dreaming of. As you can tell by my blog vineyards and wineries are something I am not only interested in, but love. So it would be only fitting for my dream wedding to be located at a winery. But why a winery? What makes it so special? We all know there are a million gorgeous locations not only in Napa Valley but also in California and anywhere around the world. So what makes one place more special then the rest? My special factor happens to be wine. After traveling to France this past summer and seeing how wine inspired happiness and close connections, I knew I wanted wine to be an important part of my wedding. Just think about all of those times you have opened a bottle of wine with your girlfriends and have spent all night talking and learning more about one another than you would have if it was just a normal night out. Think about all the family occasions where wine was  involved, and that moment of clinking your glasses that always made you feel loved. Most importantly think about how wine connected you and so many others. 

So now the question is why not a wedding that only serves wine? Why does it have to be at a winery? Well the answer is quite simple; a location ties everything together. Just look at this view and tell me you don't want this for yourself.

Since I have now convinced you to have your wedding at a winery, it is time for you to research Viansa Winery. A perfect, local winery designed to host your dream wedding.

In conclusion this is my dream wedding.

Garnet Vineyards

With so many wineries in Napa and Sonoma County it is difficult to decide which ones are worth your visit and which ones you can let slip under the rug. Being a wine enthusiast myself I come across this question quite often, but with different circumstances. To me, I would love to visit every winery; it is just a matter of which to visit first. One of the defining factors I evaluate is the unique characteristics of each winery. Garnet Vineyards is one of the unique few that has control over every aspect of their winemaking. From planting their vineyards to the bottling process, they do it all. Garnet owns four vineyards in the Sonoma area, three of which are located in the Carneros AVA while the other is located in the Sonoma Coast AVA. The Sonoma coast vineyard sits between Sonoma and Petaluma and is exposed with both wind and fog from the Pacific Ocean. The three vineyards in the Carneros AVA have different slope levels, different terrace structures and a different soil, giving each grape a different taste. Due to the different climates and growing atmosphere of each vineyard, Garnet has plenty of varietals to work with. It is the cool climate, wind and fog which sets their wine apart from many others and categories their Pinot Noir as one of the best. I highly recommend you place Garnet Vineyards at the top of your wine bucket list. It will be an experience you will not forget.
