We kept forgetting the wineries we loved most.

Someone always ends up planning the trip. For me, that's just how it goes.

Before anyone else has thought about a wine weekend, I've usually spent hours figuring out which wineries actually fit the group — who wants big reds, who wants something lighter, who just wants a view worth the drive. Then comes the harder part: laying it out so you're not backtracking across the valley, and calling every winery on the list to lock in a reservation.

Four wineries in a day is already a lot. By the third or fourth stop, the details start to blur — which winery had the wine everyone went quiet over, which one had the view worth remembering. A week later, it's mostly gone.

I wanted an easier, more personal way to build a trip to a region I'd never visited, and a way to hold onto the wineries and wines worth revisiting — not buried in a group text or a camera roll. And because I'm almost always traveling with friends, I wanted them to see the plan, and I wanted to send them to the places I loved. The best trips get better with friends in the room.

That's what My Wine Walk is built to do.
