Mum was soon heading back to Australia, and we had one more outing planned - Alcatraz. Unfortunately in September & October the US Federal Government halted all funding to national parks and it was temporarily closed. But no problems, plenty of other places to go and with the kids having a pupil free day it was perfect to explore Napa (without the weekend crowds).
Our kids are pretty used to visiting wineries, they have visited many over the years, but Sterling Winery really wins the prize for luring in 8 year old boys. Upon arriving in the car park we took a gondola up the hill to the winery, Cameron thought he had truly arrived in style.
Of course the adults are very well catered for, and we enjoyed a sit down tasting. The picture below tells the story.
Pairing good wine and food is a challenge in Napa, winery restaurants don't comply with the outdated legislation. A picnic and local produce was a good option but it did remind us how good we have it in Australia.
