  • Yall. I have been waiting for YEARS to get to Napa -- because I promised my best friend Najera that I would wait to experience it with her for the first time together -- aaand we finally made it!
    So check out our time there for some amazing winery recommendations.. and maybe a heads up on some places that you could skip too. Be sure to let me know which places you would try and if you'd like to see more Napa content on the channel 🥂

    Oh! And I forgot to include these in the video, but here’s 3 tips that really helped us enjoy Napa better:
    1. Make your reservations ahead of time. These tastings get booked up pretty quickly on weekends and you don't want to miss out on the best spots because you didn't plan ahead.
    2. Don’t forget about transportation. One winery can be a bit of a drive away from the next, so try to schedule your visits starting with the northern-most place and working your way down or vice versa. Also, determine whether you want to rely on Ubers, hire your own driver, etc.
    3. Please make time to eat! The cheese and crackers are cool, but you really need a full breakfast and lunch to get through all the wine you’re going to drink in Napa. Trust. 😉

    The wine at Raymond vineyard that you made, was it dry wine? Also would you recommend renting a car to get around or catch Uber?

    • @KayBrynae
      @KayBrynae  Před rokem

      Yes, we made a dry blend at Raymond! And it depends on your budget for transportation. We drove my car to Napa and then took Uber from place to place because neither of us wanted to be the designated driver. However, each ride ended up being $30-40. Another option if you have a large group is to book a private van through a local driving service and split the cost that way!

    • @KayBrynae
      @KayBrynae  Před rokem +1

      Napa hotels tend to be on the expensive end (at least for my budget), so we decided to go with an Airbnb for this trip and spent under half of what we would've at most of the nearby hotels! I will say you might want to book accommodations after you figure out which wineries you're going to because Napa Valley is so spread out
