Jelly Belly Factory and Napa Valley Wine Tasting

On Monday we decided to go to Napa Valley and do some wine tasting, but we stopped at the Jelly Belly factory first...


The girls were really excited to visit the Jelly Belly Factory over in Fairfield. I felt that I didn't need any extra jelly or belly, but I was excited too.


We had to wear some cool hats when we toured the factory... we couldn't take any pictures while in the actual factory area but here's a shot of us in the lobby.


We bought a couple bags of "Belly Flops" (aka irregular or rejected Jelly Belly's) to take home ... the girls favorite flavor was Juicy Pear, mine was Cotton Candy. We had a great time at the factory, we highly recommend it!


After the Jelly Belly factory we headed over to Napa Valley for some wine tasting! The first place we went was at the north end of Napa, called Sterling vineyards.


The winery at Sterling is actually up on a hill so you can take a gondola (aka tram for Kodi) up to it. Here's a shot Kodi took of us on our way up.


Here's the girls with one of the Sterling tasters. They had a terrace area where you could see the whole valley, it was awesome! The wine was pretty good too!


Here's a picture of us at our last stop at the Domaine Carneros winery (in Sonoma). They had some sparkling wines that the girls really liked. I tried some Pinot Noirs that I enjoyed as well. This place was beautiful and we really liked the service, our favorite! Posted by Picasa
