Sunday In Napa: Olive Oil Tour & Tasting, Castle Tour, Dinner at Mustard's

 Our day started with delicious breakfast in the wine cellar. 
Mac n cheese souffle!

Round Pound Olive Estate
Tour and Tasting







Next we went across the road to the Round Pond Winery for a tasting.
Matt fell in love with the 2011 Reserve Cab.


Next we stopped at the very popular V. Sattui Winery and Marketplace. We bought a flatbread pizza from the outdoor grill, sat on a park bench in the shade near the grapes, and enjoyed a light late lunch. A quick stop back at the Inn to drop off our purchases so far, and we headed north to Calistoga to visit the Castello di Amorosa.





 








 Tasting wine straight from the barrel:

 Wine tasting in the castle cellar.
 Two historic houses on the grounds of the Robert Mondavi Estate and Winery.
 Dinner was at Mustard's. My cousin, Kristen recommended this restaurant for their pork chop. It did not disappoint. This was dessert - a sundae made with fresh peach ice cream and strawberries.
I can't believe we have to go home tomorrow. There's so much more to see, do, eat, and drink!
