Sonoma Trip

I just got back from California last night. We had a great time, but after a week food and wine I am glad to be back.

We stayed at the Fairmont Mission Inn and loved it.

On Sunday we had brunch at The Girl and The Fig and explored the square in downtown Sonoma. After that we headed back to the spa. That evening we went to the Glen Ellen Inn and had a great dinner.

The next day we went ate at the Big 3 and then went hiking. More spa time... We went to Del Santina for dinner and had good food and a great bottle of wine.

We spent some more time in the main square on Tuesday and also ran to the spa. We went to a small restaurant called Café Lahaye and had a wonderful meal.

Wednesday was a big wine tasting day. We started at Sojourn went to Loxton Wines and finished up at Audelssa. After a brief time back at the hotel we went to Auberge de Soleil where the view and the food are always wonderful.

Thursday was Lane's day as we went for a horseback ride at Larson Winery. We had a great time meeting Rafael and learning about polo. More spa time... I was a bit sore and sunburned, but I manged to make it to La Sallette for dinner.

For our last full day in Sonoma we visited Hunter Winery and Hanzell. Both venues were awesome to see. More spa time... Our final meal was at Estate.

Luckily we had an uneventful flight back to the ville.
