Napa Valley, California

For our one year dating anniversary, Matt and I went to California to explore San Fran and Napa Valley! We stayed at the Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel in Union Square during our time in San Francisco. It was a beautiful (also affordable) 4-star hotel and a really great location.

There are so many things to do and see! One of the highlights for me was this tiny, hole-in-the-wall place in Chinatown called House of Xian Dumpling and they have the absolute BEST chicken fried rice I have ever had in my life!! Seriously go check it out if you go to SF. The first time I went, locals told us about it and they did not disappoint! We also typically stop by Fisherman’s Wharf and grab lunch at Pier 39. Pier Market is a really yummy restaurant there with great views and you’ll usually get to see seals on the docks close by!

Napa Valley!!!

Ah, I could never get tired of this area. Here are some of our favorite wineries that we visited:

This was at a cute little restaurant called R+D Kitchen in Yountville that we went to for dinner with some friends and, of course, tried more wine.

Cheers!
