I LOVED the wines here! You could build your own flight, which is always fun, and my sister took home a bottle. We noticed another winery called Picchetti on the way up, so we stopped there on our way back down.
I made a mental note to bring a picnic next time I visit. On top of tastings, Ridge has a lot of picnic tables that were buzzing with families and friends. From San Jose to San Francisco – you can see it all! Seriously, the coolest place to sip on some wine and catch up with my sister. I was told the views were great from Ridge, but I didn’t realize it was because it was on the very top of the mountains! We slowly crawled up the windy roads to reach the top to the most beautiful view. We first hit up the Ridge Winery in the Santa Cruz mountains. Then, some sister time at the wineries in the hills! The rest of the morning was dedicated to lounging in bed (I seriously never do that) and working out in the Juniper gym. Guys, the Juniper french toast with mascarpone is HANDS DOWN the best way to wake up! So creamy, sweet and delicious. Despite sleeping in countless nights in hotels over the years, I’ve never had room service before. The next morning I just HAD to try out room service. I had the fish burrito and it was a-maz-ing! Perfect way to unwind after a long week. The first night was spent relaxing and watching endless amounts of reality TV (who knew Dating Naked could be so addicting?) There’s this cute Mexican restaurant near the Juniper, about a 5-minute walk away called Rio Adobe Cafe. I mean, look at this place, who couldn’t feel relaxed in with this stunning red couch, comfy bed that I didn’t have to share with my cat and a wonderful view of the city. I drove down to Cupertino Friday and loved stepping out of my car to 75 degrees and sunshine (compared to the 60 and fog I left behind in San Francisco!) I checked into this beautiful junior suite at the Juniper and instantly felt relaxed. My sister was in the Bay Area a couple of weeks ago and I knew we had to do something special together! She was attending a conference in Standford all week, so I jumped at the chance for some time out of the fog and paired up with the Juniper Hotel in Cupertino for a girls getaway weekend.
