We had such a fun time last summer in Napa Valley, we decided we need to go each summer to enjoy the beauty. Terri and Andy are Napa experts as they go almost every weekend.

The best part of wine tasting with Aunt Terri is that she doesn’t like wine! Andy and I enjoy the tasting while Terri enjoys playing with the girls. The wineries always have beautiful grounds for the girls and Terri to explore.

After lunch at Gotts gourmet hamburgers, the original site of the famous hamburger spot, we were ready to hit wineries. Our first winery stop was Artesa Winery. It is a bit hidden, but Terri and Andy knew the way. It was my first time to this winery. It is up on the hillside overlooking the valley.

Next, we went to Peju Province Winery in Rutherford. This is a favorite of mine and Andy’s. Napa has changed in the 20 years we have been visiting the wineries. All places charge a tasting fee and some of our old favorites are just too crowded. This place controls the number of people that taste at one time. In addition, they apply the taste fee to your purchase.

Terri and the girls have fun in the large gardens of Peju Winery.

There is a pond to play around…
