I can see why people love to live in California. When the sun disappears so does the heat due to the lack of insulation from the concrete and buildings of a city and evenings in the Napa region can become quite cool. I shared a post this year that went into a lot more detail about my favorite brands and some of my favorite styles β you can find it here! I found a few classic coverups at J. Crew , Target , Amazon , and even more linked below:.
Packing a denim jacket , linen blazer , light cardigan or a wrap would be perfect for these circumstances. California is HOT as is expected , but if you tend to get chilly easily I definitely recommend bringing a versatile outer layer.
As a general rule, California is a pretty relaxed place, so just imagine that the dress code at When planning the outfits for your trip, try to bring pieces that would work well with the same outer layer⦠you should only be packing one so choose wisely!
I adore my Peter Beaton sun hat , but a packable straw hat would perfect for outdoor tastings or relaxing by the pool. You will want a pair or two, maximum! Also be sure that your shoe choice s are comfortable enough that you can do a lot of walking around in them! Downtown Napa and the city of Yountville are both super cute and walkable so while you will probably be in a car going between wineries for tastings you may want to explore these areas on foot.
For those of us that suffer from Chub Rub, this product is a god-send. I always bring sunscreen with me when we travel especially when the destination is California! My fave is this mineral-based one. Carpe products are already a TSA-compliant size so I just include a tube in my bag of beauty items. Hot air balloon rides over the vineyards are magical β we had an amazing time when we went a few years ago, but I really regretted my clothing choice that day.
