Originally from Bordeaux (France), I moved to the Napa Valley to work for VinoVisit.com last February. I just finished my trilingual Master’s degree in Wine Tourism and International Marketing and graduated with honors. As a real food and wine lover, I’m enjoying exploring the area and relating my discoveries from a very French point of view.

Maybe I missed it what is the date for A Day with Bubbles
There is no special date, it can be any day!
I would also recommend the JCB Lounge at Raymond Vineyards in St Helena and the Bubble Lounge at Buena Vista Winery in Sonoma — two more great places for bubbles!
I would not miss Domaine Carneros at the south end of the valley. I personally like their sparkling wines and the winery is beyond gorgeous!
