Wine Country Landscapes

One of the things that adds to my enjoyment of the wine country of Napa & Sonoma are the lovely landscapes that we come across as we drive from winery to winery.  It always feels so peaceful, one can’t help but come away with an optimistic perspective about how life truly can be lived.

Wine Fields in Napa

As you drive further up north along the Silverado Trail in Napa, you get some wonderful views of the wine fields.  For this trip, the clouds were very low hanging, but you can see there were some blue skies just above them.

Vineyard Home

When I saw this homestead set in the fields of vines, I thought about what it would be like to live among the grapes and having this view from one’s home office, living room, front porch……you get the idea!

Misty Hills

One treat we got this visit that we’d not seen in previous visits, was the effect of the low clouds and wisps of clouds hugging the hills.  We were told it was a bit early for this type of weather, and people apologized for the bad weather we were having (as if they could have done anything to control Mother Nature!), but it certainly made for some great moody views!

Fall Vines

One thing that the wet weather did was to make the fall colors really pop!  The crush was just over when we visited, and we were able to just enjoy the beauty of the vines after they produced this year’s crop of future wines.

Enjoy!
