In exactly two weeks from today, Rhonda will be getting married - but before every wedding, every bride-to-be needs a fun-filled bachelorette party! A party bus from
Black Tie Transportation picked up 14 lovely ladies and took them up to the stunning wine county that is Napa! The first stop was
Domaine Carneros Winery, followed by
Flora Springs Winery's Estate for lunch and wine tasting. It was here that I met up with the party. I was to be a surprise to Rhonda and capture nearly 2 1/2 hours of beauty and fun.
...and the ladies arrive in style. Passing by rows and rows of grape vines up a private driveway to the enterance of
Great wine, a cave tour and some amazing food was awaiting them as they walked in!
Travis was our sommelier - the same name as Rhonda's fiance!
In to the caves they went! Everyone had tastings directly from the barrel - both tastings were a Napa Valley Cabernet - one was fermented in American Oak, the other in French Oak.
After the caves, everyone headed out to this beautiful spot overlooking the valley for lunch catered by Dean & Deluca of St. Helena. More wine was tasted - the highlight was the Trilogy!
But, the real highlight was...
Party planner Dana, made these awesome faces with a picture she received from fiance Travis. When flipped around it read...
Goin' to the Chapel!
Obviously, it was proceeded by song, dance and more wine!
Congratulations Rhonda - many, many years of happiness with your hubby-to-be!
