Friday, August 10th was my birthday and, as luck would have it, it was also the day we got to pick up the new trailer. Before the trailer was a twinkle in our eyes, we'd planned on heading to Sonoma for my birthday weekend. But, as soon as we found out we'd be picking up the trailer on that day we knew we had to change our plans. So we canceled the cozy luxury suite in Sonoma (the city), and started looking for a place to take the trailer in Sonoma county wine country.
For our first trip we decided we wanted to stay somewhere with full hook-ups so we could really get into the RV experience. But... we were trying to make reservations last minute, which turned out to be somewhat of a challenge. Thankfully we found a KOA with plenty of room for us.
The Wine Country KOA!
A KOA wouldn't have been our first choice, but we had a great time. Our spot was a bit small, but thankfully no one was in the spot next to us so we were able to spread out a bit.
On Saturday we ventured into Geyserville for wine tasting.
First stop: Meeker. Delicious! We'll definitely find our way back here someday. The tasting room is located in an old (very old) bank. They use the vault for wine storage! The most memorable wine we tasted that day was a white dessert wine.
Next stop was Diavola pizzeria for lunch. The pizza was tasty, but the BREADSTICKS! Oh the breadsticks. Skinny little things of beauty.
After lunch I wandered through a few antique shops.
At one of the stores I found this little gem:
Our next wine tasting stop was Route 128. Fun place to stop, but we weren't that excited about the wines.
Our final wine stop was so great I wish we'd gone there first! Locals is a tasting room that represents 11 local wineries. There is no other way to describe our experience than saying it was a journey. The server poured four tastes for us and asked us which we liked best. Based on our answer he poured four more tastes. Again he asked which was our favorite and poured four more tastes based on our answer. It went on like this until he'd helped us identify several bottles that we really really enjoyed. So fun!
After a day full of tasting we headed back to the campsite to relax.
On Sunday we stopped in Healdsburg so we could have lunch at Bear Republic.
Pulling our new toy across the beautiful Goldengate!
Our little beauty parked in front of our house for the first time. Here's to many more adventures.
