Wine Tasting at Napa Valley

The Saturday after arriving in California, my aunt & uncle took my parents, my cousin Alisha, and I to Napa Valley to go wine tasting.

Of course I’m not over 21, so I really didn’t get to “wine taste,” but I still got to have a couple of sips thanks to my dad… muy sabroso!

We ended up going to the Castello di Amorosa winery, where we got to see its amazing medieval castle-like architecture. According to my cousin & uncle, every single piece of rock from the castle was shipped from Europe (I think England) to California, so the winery could be built… talk about a lot of work/money.

Napa Valley was everything I expected… It was in a HUGE valley and there were plenty of delicious grapes around (haha). I assume I’ll go back sometime to go wine tasting again when I’m 21+.

Finally, we went to Sacramento to visit the capital of California and also to have a little dessert on the river.
