Wine Tasting in Temecula

January 16, 2012 by Courtney 30 Comments

To celebrate the birthday of a dear friend, a few of use headed down to Temecula, CA yesterday to enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting. We could have stayed for days just talking and enjoying girl time. There is nothing like a little respite from the responsibilities of mommyhood. One of the wineries that we particularly loved was the Monte De Oro Winery. It’s set high on a hilltop and boasts stunning views. With large grand windows and a spacious tasting room, it really is a beautiful spot. source source And this fun private table is actually visible through the ceiling of the wine tasting room. Check this out. It’s a glass floor with a peek-a-boo view. {might not want to wear a skirt or dress if you’re going to be walking above this table. Just sayin’} Look below! See how you can walk over the table. IMG_1509 IMG_1504 Angela, Cristil, Courtney IMG_1508 Kim, Angela, Cristil, Courtney IMG_1543 Here’s to a beautiful setting, great friends . . .and yummy wine. …………………………. Enjoy your day.

    Looks like the perfect day to celebrate. Nothing like a little girls day out as a little break from mommyhood. I can't wait for my own little break – mani/pedi night.

    Hi Courtney! I am new here. I found your blog when searching for a perfect neutral wall color for my living room. The picture of your living room is what brought me here. I am having such a hard time finding the "right one" and I absolutely loved yours! This is what I have been looking for! Would it be too much to ask you for the name and brand of the color of your living room wall??? I sent you an email but decided to write a comment here too, just in case. You would make me so happy, you have no idea. 🙂
