Tips to explore this UNESCO World Heritage site🏔

🚗 If you’re dreaming of exploring the breathtaking Dolomites, a road trip is the way to go. Easily accessible by car, the journey from Venice takes about 2 hours, while Milan is a scenic 4-hour drive away. For the ultimate Dolomite experience, I highly recommend renting a car and embarking on a road trip through the picturesque landscapes.

💡Most rental cars are manual, so if you prefer an automatic, book well in advance. Don’t forget to secure car rental insurance and an International Driver’s Permit (IDP) before hitting the road. IDPs are available online for as low as $25 USD, and some U.S. credit cards offer auto insurance coverage, but it’s wise to verify with your bank. Start your Dolomite adventure by planning your road trip and renting your car today!

🚨Don’t Forget to take before and after photos of rented car, rental car charge scams are normal and happened with us as well as our friends when they visited Italy!

🏔🚡To reach the stunning Seceda from Ortisei, take a gondola to Furnes, then switch to a cable car for the breathtaking journey to Seceda – a total of 15 minutes. Explore this UNESCO World Heritage site and let the Dolomites weave their enchanting tales. 🚗🏔️

If you don’t consume alcohol and LOVE going to Napa valley and Sonoma, I got you covered! 💁‍♀️

I found these wineries when I wanted to take my parents to explore Napa and both of them are non-drinkers.

Here is the list of wineries which fits this criteria
1. Costello di Amorosa🏰: Now a days they want you to buy grapes juice if you just want to see castle. It was around 60$ per person which wasn’t reasonable considering other good places!😊
2. V. Sattui - I absolutely LOVE this place! ❤️❤️ The vibe here is amazing, 🌸 it has great photo spots and perfect even if you have kids with you since it was open place with benches.🫶
3. 10. Beringer Vineyard - Loved this beautiful peaceful Vineyard, My parents loved it too🫶🙂
4. Sterling Vineyards: Has Sky Tram😱😱, check online before visiting

Other Wineries I found with good reviews :
5. Domaine Carneros
6. Schug Estate - Self guided tour through the vineyards
7. Artesa - Amazing views
8. Robert Mondavi Winery - one of the best tours for a 1st time visitor
9. Rutherford Hill Winery - Largest cave system in Northern California 📍
10. Benzinger Winery (Sonoma)
11. Francis Ford Coppola Winery

SHARE it with your non-drinker friends! Don’t forget to add more places in the comments! Would love to visit ❤️

Is 1 day enough in Arches National Park?

The amount of time needed to explore Arches National Park really depends on your interests and what you hope to see and do while you're there. That being said, one day is certainly enough time to see many of the park's main attractions and get a good sense of the park's unique landscape.

If you're short on time, you can focus on some of the most popular spots such as the iconic Delicate Arch, Balanced Rock, and the Windows section, which can be accessed relatively easily by car or a short hike.

However, if you have more time and are interested in hiking and exploring the park's backcountry, then you may want to spend several days in the park.

Keep in mind that Arches National Park can get quite crowded, especially during peak season (March to October), so if you're visiting during this time, plan to arrive early in the day to beat the crowds and find parking.

Place that looks like on another planet😃

📍Toadstool Hoodoos, Utah

Visiting the Toadstool Hoodoos in Utah is a unique and awe-inspiring experience. 🤌 These whimsical rock formations have been shaped over thousands of years by wind and water erosion.

The area offers great hiking opportunities, with well-marked trails that wind through the stunning landscape.

🚨Be sure to bring plenty of water and wear sturdy shoes, as the terrain can be uneven.

The Toadstool Hoodoos are a must-see destination for anyone looking to explore the natural wonders of Utah.✨
