If you are planning a trip to Napa Valley, you'll want to ensure you add this winery to your list of must stops. I grabbed two girlfriends on a sunny summer day and we headed to the ultra chic and modern Ashes & Diamonds Winery for some wine tasting, photos, and lots of fun!!

Outfit Details:
Ashes & Diamonds Winery is located in the heart of Napa just off of Highway 29. I wasn't sure what to expect as I didn't do any research before we arrived. When we drove up, I was immediately mesmerized by the striking and bold architecture. It felt like we just arrived to a sunny and colorful Palm Springs hotel - not the typical vibe you'll find in rustic Napa Valley! I LOVED it!
The iconic zig zag roof, port holes, and vibrant bright colors pay homage to California's mid-century modern design from the past, seamlessly integrated with a state-of-the-art wine production facility surrounded by light, airy landscapes and playful gathering spots to sip wine and enjoy the views with your friends!
We decided to sit on the outside patio and enjoy the A&D Wine Flight which is a tasting from their current release of four to six wines. The price varies from $40-$55 per person based on the number of tastings included in your flight (from 4-6). Tastings can be enjoyed in the inside lounge area (highly recommended when it's super hot outside!), at the tasting bar, or the outdoor patio looking out onto the estate vineyards. I highly suggest you make reservations before visiting, especially if you are headed there on weekends or during the busy summertime. Click here for making reservations in advance.
Napa can get really hot in the summer time and this 90+ degree day was no exception! I decided to wear this tropical print midi dress. I love the spaghetti straps which are adjustable and crisscross on the back. It's made with a thicker, scuba style, smooth material which makes it very comfortable. The back of the dress is bare down to the waist so you will need to go sans bra or use pasties. Given the thicker material, I decided to leave both the bra an pasties at home and felt quite comfortable all day long!
We had the best time visiting Ashes and Diamonds Winery and Vineyards and have plans to visit again this coming fall! I highly recommend this stop on your Napa Valley itinerary if you haven't been there yet! The wines are fabulous and the mid-century architecture really creates a fun and cool vibe! I hope you are enjoying these last few weeks of summer! I can't believe how quickly it's going by! My kids go back to school in two weeks!
