Bella Vineyard & A Wine Inspired Giveaway

It has always been a dream of mine to visit wine country. The rolling green hills, rows and rows of grapes as far as the eye can see, the breezy air and constantly flowing nectar of the gods...this northern california destination is one I won't soon forget. And plan to visit time and time again.

Bella Vineyards is one of my favorite of the locations we visited. The wine tasting takes place in a cave, dimly lit and romantic, with special rooms off to each side for private dinners & events. We tried more than six of their amazing wines, from chardonnay to zinfandel, pinot noir to the deepest of merlots. 

After our hour long tasting, we were in serious need of some lunch and shade. Cat and her fiancé (who were our incredible hosts for the weekend!), had packed us a picnic lunch with some crusty garlic sourdough, grapes fresh off their family's vineyard, chicken salad and the creamiest of brie. I was in HEAVEN. 

It was quite serendipitous that the dress I wore that day seemed to reflect the same color as the wines I noticed were my favorite. Before this trip, I never know how delicious a pinot noir could be! So thankful that Phoenix temps should be dropping soon, and I can get back to drinking my favorite reds.

Until then, I'll just have to show my love of deep reds through outfits! I've partnered up with The Limited to help celebrate the company's 50th anniversary. Within the company's celebration, they are raising money for an important organization, Dress for Success.
