THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SANTA YNEZ VALLEY

The Santa Ynez Valley is without a doubt one of my favorite places in all of California. With how often I find myself in “The SYV,” at this point, I fully consider myself an “honorary resident.” Someday in the future, I’d like to think I’ll make it official, but until then, it’ll always be my...

WEEKEND GETAWAY GUIDE: OREGON WINE COUNTRY

The time had come to finally take Wine Country Caroline out of California to discover some new wine-filled frontiers. My latest adventure landed me in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, the Eola Amity Hills AVA to be exact, and guys… I’m moving to Oregon. Kidding, I actually kind of wish, but the good news is...

THE GETAWAY GUIDE TO: PALM SPRINGS

  This post has been a long time coming. After countless trips and years of “experience”, it’s finally time to take a deep dive into a subject I have become almost fluent in, and that is PALM SPRINGS.

THE GETAWAY GUIDE TO: LOS ALAMOS

Whether you’re headed full speed ahead for “Lost Almost”, “Little Los Angeles”, or more accurately, Los Alamos, know that no matter what good things await. Located just 2 hours north of Los Angeles, Los Alamos is a funky little legitimately old western town that has become quite the little destination over the past few years...

THE GETAWAY GUIDE TO: NAPA VALLEY

After 18 years of growing up in the Bay Area, 10 years of countless wine bottles consumed, and god-knows-how-many-years of visiting wine country almost quarterly – it’s safe to say I’ve become pretty well versed in all of the notes of Napa Valley. (I think I might get bonus points for having a BFF/aunt who happens...

THE GETAWAY GUIDE TO: LAS VEGAS

LOVE & LOATHING… LAS VEGAS.   Fact: I have traveled to Vegas more times than any other city – and I love it way more than I loathe it.   I remember my first trip to Sin City like it was yesterday (don’t we all)… rolled into town all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, got drunk off...

BEST ROAD TRIP FROM LA: CUYAMA BUCKHORN

It’s official – I have a new favorite hotel in California. If it weren’t obvious per most of my recommendations, I definitely seem to have a type when it comes to what I consider to be “the best accommodations”.   Checklist items include: must have history or at least a good story must have modern...

THE GETAWAY GUIDE TO: SOLVANG

I’ve never heard so many people say “it’s my favorite” about a place so much as I have in reference to Solvang. Everyone and their mother just L O V E S Solvang. I get it though, what isn’t naturally appealing about the idea of a Danish Disneyland? A Danish Disneyland that doesn’t even require...
