Cheers To These Celebrity Winemakers
As bottles of bubbly are uncorked at the Golden Globes, the room will not only be filled with glasses and toasts made by A-list celebrities, but by many who really know a thing or two about a good vintage. That’s because many of the stars are tapping into a different kind of business outside of spotlight and inside of a vineyard.
The long & glorious history of Simi Winery
You’re looking at the oldest continual-producing winery in all of Sonoma County! This elegant destination is a true landmark in the region…135 consecutive years producing wine – that means through Prohibition!
Leave your worries on the road at Grape Creek Vineyards
Tucked just off Highway 290, on a popular stretch of gorgeous countryside sits the Grape Creek Vineyard. For a little bit of Tuscany in Texas look no further than this place for some shade and leisure. It’s here that owner Brian Heath says “wine is the center of the experience.”
The perfect first stop on your wine trip
A trip to the California Wine Country would not be complete without a stop at one of the most spectacular wineries anywhere. In fact, any time my husband and I go to Napa, Domain Carneros is always our first stop.
Beautiful winery and gardens – Ferrari Carano
Plan on spending some time at this beautiful Sonoma winery. The grounds are spectacular—you’ll want to walk through their lush gardens. Be sure to look for the ‘cork’ tree…you’ll see up close and personal where those precious little wine stoppers come from.
The tasting room here is spacious with a great offering of gift items.

Pride Mountain Vineyards
Wow – what view this winery has! Pride Mountain Vineyards sits on 235 acres high atop Spring Mountain with an incredible view of Mount St. Helena. Plus, the vineyard sits on the Napa/Sonoma county line, so you can literally be in Napa and Sonoma at the same time.

In the heart of Napa right on the famous Highway 29 sits a gem of a winery…Salvestrin Winery. On a recent stay in Napa, we stayed at the Salvestrin Winery’s B&B—what a treat!
Schweiger Vineyards
This is one of the beautiful vineyards high up on Spring Mountain, and it’s family owned and operated (ya gotta love that).
Trinchero Vineyards
The Trinchero family moved to Napa in the 1940’s and Trinchero Estates is now one of the largest wine producing entities in all of Napa.

Fume Blanc for All
If you’re lucky enough to be in Napa at the legendary winery that bears his name, you’d be raising a glass in his honor this afternoon. His wife Margrit will be at the winery to toast her husband with a glass of Fume Blanc.
