Apologies, I am a little backed up on my blog posts. My suitcase is a permanent fixture on my bedroom floor with a steady rotation of bridesmaid dresses waiting for their debut.

Ever since our trip back in June (!), I wanted to share about our girls weekend in Healdsburg for Megan’s Bachelorette. Healdsburg is a lesser known destination on the way to Napa Valley; a smaller, sleepier version of neighboring Sonoma. We lucked out that Megan’s soon-to-be in-laws have a quaint family cabin located just above the Russian River and were kind enough to let 12 bacheloretting girls invade for the weekend. It was the perfect trip.

After a pit stop at Oakville Grocery for some of the best sandwiches in Northern California, we set off for our first tasting – Bella Vineyards and Wine Caves. Shortly after arriving, we were greeted by friendly staff and taken to our own private wine cave for our tasting.

Personal servings of mac ‘n cheese perfectly complimented the Zinfandels that Bella is famous for. After working our way through the flight of wines, we retreated to the shady grass picnic area, slightly tipsy and ready to indulge in our picnic lunches. Some hula hooped and others lounged in the grass, all while the live music entertained us. The warm sun and bottomless glasses of Zinfandel prevented us from making our second appointment, we were just having too much fun at Bella.

Highly recommend Bella on your next tour of the wine country. Other must dos:
- Barn Diva: for a lovely dinner al fresco (post wine tasting)
- A dip in the freezing refreshing Russian River
