🇺🇸 Bay Area Day Trip | Hidden French-Style Estate in Napa Perfects

Last-minute trip to Napa? Most wineries require booking at least 2 weeks in advance 🗓️, but I found a super low-key yet gorgeous estate — no entrance fee! 🆓 If you want wine tasting, be sure to reserve a table in advance. 🍷 Just over an hour’s drive from the Bay 🚗💨, this place is surrounded by vineyards, super peaceful, and perfect for photos and relaxing. Highly recommend! 🌟 Photo Spots 📷: 1️⃣ Front view of the château — classic shot! 2️⃣ On the staircase with the garden in the background 🌹 3️⃣ Indoor areas with soft lighting — elegant, royal-style photos 👑 👗 Outfit Tips: Most girls wear cottagecore dresses or bodycon skirts. If it’s chilly, a scarf adds a classy touch! I wore an off-shoulder white gown — simple and graceful, and white really brightens the skin! ✨ 🌟 Wine Tasting 🍷: Try the CHÂTEAU SAMPLER ($40) — a flight of 4 wines: 2018 Blanc de Noir 2018 Brut Rosé 2020 Avant-Garde Pinot Noir 2019 Estate Pinot Noir 🏰 Fun Facts: Domaine Carneros was founded by the noble family behind Taittinger Champagne 🥂 The estate has 6 vineyards growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay The castle was inspired by Château de la Marquetterie in Champagne, France Join the "Art of Sparkling Wine" tour to learn more about wine! 🧠🍾 💡 Tips: Very popular — definitely book in advance!
