Starting in September of 2016, we began making regular trips up to Napa, California. The reason for this was because we had decided to have our wedding at a beautiful bed & breakfast there, planning on taking everyone out for a late lunch/early dinner afterwards. Well, we didn't know the area well enough to choose a restaurant without having already eaten there. Hence, the trips to Napa to scope out what they had to offer. Of course, we also walked around the area and got a feel for what it's like up there, so here are the photos that I took on our various visits!
