Beringer Winery.. one of Napa's oldest winery.
We took a break from three days of wineries and headed west to the coast. We got to Bodega Bay before the fog lifted, so we stopped here and watched some seals play before heading up Hwy. 1.
This is a nature reserve we walked in Bodega Bay.
Here, we happened to run into a couple we had met the day before at a winery.

We drove about 40 miles up Hwy. 1 before turning inland to get to Healdsburg. The 47-mile drive had the craziest switchbacks and I'm pretty sure we ruined the brakes on the rental car,
The last winery of the trip - Ferrari-Carano! It was a long drive to get to Healdsburg, but well worth it when we arrived. They had the best Cab. Sauvignon, and beautiful gardens.
Dan fights to get his arm back from the Ferrari-Carono boar.
Dan finds a hungry little friend...
