Wine with Paige

If you're looking for a truly memorable and unique experience in Napa, look no further: Trefethen offers a hands-on "Harvest Bootcamp" that showcases their grape-growing and winemaking process.

Abbot’s Passage is a distinctive destination in downtown Sonoma that is home to unique regularly scheduled workshops that pair hands-on education and exploration with tastings of Katie Bundschu’s small-lot, co-fermented field blend wines.

When Jord watches reached out, I knew they were the perfect intersection of luxury, fashion, and sustainability that I just couldn’t help but pass up a partnership with.

2018 was a year filled with change and growth! Check out my highlights by month in this post.

The Tri-Valley is the coolest place you’ve never heard of… yet. Comprised of three valleys that come together (hence the name), this area features the cities of Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, and the sweet little town of Danville.
