Recently, I was so inspired by the female vintners of the Napa Valley, I designed a wine trail to honor them.

Some of our favorite “travels with two” have been in Northern California.  It’s where Adam grew up, and where both sets of his parents live.

This hallowed corner of the world is full of perfect couples’ getaways. It’s a green and wild collection of counties, valleys and parks with plenty of open space, one of the world’s greatest cities and acres upon acres of gorgeous wine.
