Wow what an amazing trip, simply unforgettable (well, some
of us did forget parts of it, hey there was a lot of good wine to be had). Our first trip ever with my sisters and brother!! The views were incredible, the food was outstanding, we met some great drivers, and the Airbnb was just Amazing….. And of course, the wine!!! What can I say about the wine! We all went a little overboard buying wine to ship back home…. Can you say Sticker Shock!
We started with Darioush, the host gave us the full history of the winemaker’s story! You have to hear it for yourself! The Vineyard itself was something made by Greek Gods!
We also Visited Caymus Vineyards.
The morning started a little chilly, but the wine started to warm us up!
Silver Oak was a great winery, I am usually not a big fan of super dry, super oakey wines, but these were pretty darn good…. we even received a splash of something extra!
Fair warning, I am not really sure what happened here…. I am told it was the best wines! As you can see from the pictures, the winery was quite scenic…. Quintessa
Ah…. Faust my favorite…. What a great experience, we tasted wines that we can’t buy and of course we had to send a bunch back home! The Hubby was happy as well!
Great tour at Cakebread Cellars
Last Winery Visit
There is a story of a bird, and the bird traveling 4 states to get to Texas… but like I said at the start, there was a lot of GREAT Wine on this Trip!!!
These are some of the restaurants we went to and also a few pictures of our amazing AIRBNB
Please add your Turkey trip!
Keep enjoying. I love the messages from the “sisters” telling me to keep working because she’s buying wine.
Love it!!!
Epic trip with my siblings
I will cherish these memories
I live vicariously through your journey. Keep exploring, take notes.
