I love cake, bread, and wine so what could be better than a winery that seems to combine them all? With this in mind, I booked reservations at Cakebread Cellars. Sadly, the Cakebread namesake comes from a family name and are no cake or bread samples at the wine tasting. Fortunately, the wine more than made up for it.
Next my family and I went to William Harrison vineyards. It's a smaller winery and very laid back. The tasting was quite good, the stand out was their chardonnay. I'm skeptical of chardonnays and was surprised to find myself buying a bottle.
Our last stop was Mondavi.
They have an excellent wine 101 tour that explains the vineyards, how wine is made, and how to taste wine. Plus they gave us a prosciutto wrapped fig!
I loved Napa, but if I were to do it again, I would reverse the order of wineries visited. Mondavi is a great way to start the trip, William Harrison is the ideal middle ground, and Cakebread is the perfect way to finish the tour.
