So, you’re headed to the wine country, but you’re packing some rather active baggage (read: your children) Never fear, the wine country is very kid-friendly! We go all the time since we are blessed to live just an hour away from this incredible area and take our kiddos almost every time we go.

One of the fabulous things about living in San Francisco (and there are many!) is that we are so close to the wine country. Sonoma is a quick 45-minute drive and Napa is just an hour away, making it really easy to drive up for the day. The landscape is beautiful, the shops adorable and the weather is usually warm and sunny, which is a nice break from the city fog in the Summer!

It makes for a wonderful day trip or weekend getaway if you life in SF and a fabulous vacation destination if you don’t! (more…)

It’s a fun (and very large) playground with lots to do. (more…)
