The Vineyards, Winery Gardens, Cozy B&B's of California -


Such a beautiful place to visit. . . . . . . . . and I often find myself experiencing
 those "I could live here" moments!
Then I'm advised of the price of real estate!
Land for vineyards cost as much as a million dollars per acre.
Tiny houses a couple of million before an often needed rehab.
So I'm staying where I am of course. . . . . .but will always be up
 for a visit here where it truly is lovely.





Our beautiful suite on the lower level by the pool - in Napa. 
This amazing B&B is the Candlelight Inn and I'll be showing you much
 more of it in another post.

We are now in Ferndale, just south of Eureka, California.
A spectacular Victorian B&B in a small town full of Victorian buildings,
 the previous homes of cattle barons and dairy kings.
Weather is wet but we're seeing some beautiful scenery including the 
giant redwood forests and the pounding Pacific surf along the shore.

City to country - wine country that is!


 Leaving the beautiful city of San Francisco, always hard.
Heading to the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, very easy!


Crossing the Golden Gate and heading north -


- to arrive in what has to be some of the most beautiful countryside in California.
More on visits to wineries - there are about 600 - and great little wine country
 towns later.
