An Event Filled Weekend-Napa Part ll


Thursday night, when we arrived, there was a dinner in the garden of the Calistoga Inn...by candle light, with little olive trees adorning the tables
My youngest daughter Katy from Chicago. Can you tell I was happy to see her?

The next morning both of my daughters were there. They stayed in a friend's house and were taking care of her dog Reese. We walked every morning. Perfect weather.
Stacy from Charlotte, NC and Katy again from Chicago
 Most of my family was staying at the quaint Brannon Cottages

Where we gathered in the garden, for alfresco family lunches following wine tours, hikes and bike rides..
A favorite event for me.

 
Friday night, was the rehearsal dinner at Brixs, in Yountsville. All 120 guests were invited. The tables were along the vineyard (with heaters....cool evenings)

I loved the sparkle of the glasses on the tables

Tom, showing you that the grapes are indeed ripe :)
Come back tomorrow for the grand finale...The wedding in the vineyard
