First Travel Blog July 2017 (Sonoma Valley)

in #travel7 years ago

this is the first in many reviews!

A little weekend getaway to Sonoma Valley for some wine tasting and good food.  First stop on our adventure was Bravas bar de tapas in a little unknown town called Healdsburg.  After about a two hour drive up from the bay area we were starving and in search of good food and drinks and we found the perfect spot.  Bravas has some amazing small plates and cocktails along with a long wine list.  It was a fairly warm day and the backyard patio was a perfect setting for a nice relaxed start to our vacation.  They offer a large variety of small plates and all are sure to satisfy your cravings.  This place is especially great when you have a small or large group.

On the agenda next was some wine tasting.  Healdsburg Plaza is great for walking around tasting some amazing wines all within a square mile radius.  There are at least 12 tasting rooms in this outdoor plaza and we are never disappointed. We stopped at a few of our favorite spots and one includes Mueller where we had an amazing Rose of Pinot Noir.

After sipping on some amazing wine it was time for dinner so we drove down to Sonoma where there is an amazing little restaurant called The Girl and the Fig.  This was recommended by so many friends and family that we had to try and its a little more pricey but completely worth it.  We started the table with a bottle of Carignan from Baxter.  It was a delicious red wine from Medocino that was suggested by our waiter as it would pair well with all of our dishes perfectly and indeed it did. I had the Wild Flounder Meuniere that was out of this world and my friend had a Quail dish that was incredibly tender and juicy .  For dessert we finished with the Stonefruit Crisp topped with vanilla ice cream and the Chocolate & Salted Fig Caramel Trifle.  Both so incredibly amazing and a perfect way to end this amazing day of good food and wine.  This place was one to remember and we will definitely return to try more.
