Napa: Day 1

We headed out West to Napa Valley to celebrate my best friend, Stephanie, getting married! She was my maid of honor in my wedding and I was her matron of honor in hers! We were sorority sisters at OU and have remained close ever since.
We were in Napa Valley during Harvest, their most popular season. This is when the grapes are picked. It is just beautiful at this time of year! The wineries are in full swing and the weather is hot and clear.
Our first stop was Domaine Carneros Winery. Just before you arrive to the town of Napa, you will find this classic French chateau set on a hill surrounded by vineyards. Stephanie's mother hosted a Bridal Tea to begin Steph's wedding weekend in the Napa Valley!

Out front on the patio of the winery....Everyone was so colorful!
Just behind us was this beautiful garden

I love candid shots...though some girls spotted me! ha!
