A Series It’s All in The Reflection
Off The Beaten Path
Napa isn’t just about wine and expensive resorts. It’s also the quiet spots. The local secrets that can speak to your soul.
China Point Overlook
Tucked off Soscol Avenue, this riverside spot isn’t marked with fanfare. Locals know it as a place to breathe, sit still, and watch reflections drift by — both literal and emotional. Bring a sketchbook and hop on the brick wall beside the lamp post. Let your fingers see what your eyes do.
Jarvis Estate Winery
This is not your everyday winery. Here, wine ages in candlelit chambers of a mountain cave. As you hear the water gently trickling, you imagine the transformation of grapes into wine. A sacred metaphor for healing that’s slow, unseen, and worth the wait.
Direction Matters
Love, like wine, needs breathing room — and a little aging to reach its full flavor.
Go ahead. Wander off course.
Taste something unexpected.
Let the quiet places reset your compass.
Pour A Glass – Will Ya?
Try the Trefethen Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. It’s structured, balanced, and has a hint of blackberry and blueberry notes.
Just like the best conversations.
Reset & Refresh
Sometimes the best way to move forward is to sit still, sip slowly, and let the vineyard do the talking.
What does that mean?
Ask less.
Listen more.
Let the stillness answer for you.
Ready to rest?
Next time, we’ll find a place to rest your weary soul.
Because what matters isn’t just what you see around you —
