Doesn't this remind you of the movie "A Walk in the Clouds" with Keanu Reeves? It was a good movie, but the scenery is why I have watched it several times.
I'm still trying to decide on the hot air balloons. I don't have a fear of heights, but I do have a fear of falling. I don't know if there's a difference, but I'm okay being up high as long as it doesn't feel like I'm going to tumble to my death. I may have to just take pictures from the ground.
The wine train might be a better option.
I'm still trying to decide on which wineries to visit. Any suggestions?
Cappola Winery
Castello di Amorosa
Vittorio Sattui
It wasn't easy finding a place to stay because there are just too many great options. My husband swears Yountville is the place to be and since he's been there a few times recently for work (I know, right?), I'm going to take his advice.
Auberge du Soleil
Bardessono
Hotel Yountville
And the food...
Osso Bucco
I will be at Bouchon every single day.
Michael Chiarello's Cafe
I will probably pick my restaurants based on how cute they are. Is that strange? Don't answer that. I can't wait to leave, but I think planning is half the fun!
I grew up about an hour from Yountville and have never been there. What the heck was I thinking?! Oh yea, to begin with there was the all important school and no car. Then car and kids and no time. And now I am half way across the country and no plane ticket. lol I will be visiting my sister not far from there this Fall. Maybe that will be this years "place" for us sisters to spend a few days. It looks beautiful. Have a great time!!!
ReplyDeleteOH.MY.GOODNESS! This looks like a dream come true! Every single thing here makes me giddy. Are you going with your husband or is this a girls trip? I can't wait to hear more about it! I've been there once, years ago and I don't think I appreciated it as much as I would now. Would love to go back there.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the hot air balloon thing - it made me chuckle when you said you didn't have a fear of heights, only a fear of falling. I wouldn't mind doing a hot air balloon, but something like skydiving where you are actually throwing yourself out there I would not be able to do. But you're right, the wine train sounds the safest. ;)
Have such a great time on your trip!
