Another Wine Country 4th

Every year I head up to the wine country town of Sonoma for the 4th of July with my best friend. We love the wine tasting, art, food and fireworks that are so abundant in this smaller cousin to the Napa valley.

They have been growing wine here for years

The vines go and go 

And undulate with the landscape across the valley floor 

Even the neighborhood houses have vines, this one is a good 50 years old 


The tallest building in town is the old fort from mission times 

I was confused with the name of this hotel, switzerland is a ways away 

This sunflower cafe has a great patio 

And the window shopping is nice too 


This was an ancient black fig tree in the patio of a great restaurant that I forget the name of, but it was all that was open 

They had this cool snail too
 

Chocolate lava cake and chocolate sorbet

 Weird stair configuration

So many lovely gardens 

 Doesn't it make you want to just sit there and chill out 

It was way packed this year, maybe people didn't travel as much, but well worth the 30 mins and finale, right above our heads.
