132/365

We woke up to another beautiful day in Sonoma. After breakfast we hit the road and headed over to Napa. We weren't quite ready to begin wine tasting so we went to the visitor's bureau to map out our course. There are SO many wineries and it can be a bit overwhelming.

We ended up going to Mondavi, Raymond Vineyards, Beringer (my favorite!!), and Castello di Amorosa. We didn't have complimentary tasting cards for the wineries in Napa like we did in Sonoma, so we tasted at Beringer and that was plenty all. We did tour the grounds of each of them ourselves -- which are absolutely beautiful.

I loved all of the flowers that were in full bloom! I snapped this picture on the side of the road as we were leaving Raymond. And bonus - Poppies are the California state flower!
