Destination: Napa

One of our newest, super cute couples has decided they want a wine country wedding, a nice destination weekend for their Southern California friends and family. And, if there is one thing we do well over at Mint Julep Social Events, it's location scout! So, after an exciting run in with Kate Flannery, a short flight to Oakland, and a necessary upgrade at the car rental counter, we were cruising around Napa in a silver convertible, taking in the fresh air and keeping an eye out for the first venue on our short list.

If you haven't been, Napa and the surrounding area are simply wonderful. And, while, almost every venue looked more beautiful than the last, we finally selected an amazing chateau inspired property. Perhaps rivaled only by the most select vineyard in the French country side, the attentive staff, plush accommodations, and cavernous barrel rooms, easily put this venue at the top of our list. Brilliant! After a late lunch at Bouchon, our wonderful day in wine country was over; and we were soon back on a jet headed to our office in Los Angeles.
