I stayed in a lodge in St. Helena some years ago, walked around in the redwoods but never got to do the vineyard explorations.
My favorites memory was of climbing up into the hills and watching a fiery apricot sunset. The quality of the light was astounding, very much reminding me of Haute Provence in France near the Alps.
Glad you had fun!
Oop! I mean "favorite."
