While I stayed in San Francisco for my birthday weekend, I couldn\u2019t ignore the love growing deep inside me for the foreign city and its neighboring towns. It\u2019s funny, you know, I always thought my favorite place in America would be New York because of fashion, but even before I left for San Francisco, I knew I\u2019d fall in love with it just off the literature I read before visiting. I love Paris, undoubtedly, but I\u2019ve also been fascinated with the small rural areas in France. I\u2019ve lived in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2014\/11\/11\/in-the-kitchen\/\" target=\"_blank\">Versailles<\/a>, Amboise,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/2013\/12\/02\/limousin-france\/\" target=\"_blank\">Limousin<\/a>\u00a0and a couple other towns in France\u2014living in such places made me realize I\u2019m not as much of a city girl as I thought.\u00a0 I like a little bit of both. I can see myself living in one of these places and making frequent trips to Paris or living in Paris and going away for the weekend in Bordeaux. The former was my living situation when I stayed in Versailles.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7288\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com_1.jpg\" alt=\"Wine Country, Sonama, Napa Valley San Francisco Carlifornia by Photographer Armenyl.com\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com_1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com_1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com_1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-7255 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/2015\/09\/24\/wine-country\/wine-country-sonama-napa-valley-san-francisco-carlifornia-by-photographer-armenyl-com-9\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com-9-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com-9-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com-9-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/2015\/09\/24\/wine-country\/wine-country-sonama-napa-valley-san-francisco-carlifornia-by-photographer-armenyl-com-12\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com-12-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com-12-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com-12-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/2015\/09\/24\/wine-country\/wine-country-sonama-napa-valley-san-francisco-carlifornia-by-photographer-armenyl-com-13\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com-13-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com-13-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wine-Country-Sonama-Napa-Valley-San-Francisco-Carlifornia-by-Photographer-Armenyl.com-13-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Wine Tasting at Nicholson Ranch, driving around Yountville, a Cactus!

Although on its own San Francisco was spectacular, I just couldn&#8217;t wait to be out in the warm countryside again! I&#8217;ve\u00a0always dreamed of running through endless vineyards, going on a wine tour, and just living out en plein air! So, this trip was in fact a dream come true for me!
