A short ferry ride from Seattle, Bainbridge Island is one of my favorite places to visit anytime I’m in Washington. Though the island itself is beautiful, the wine is what lures me back again and again (for an introduction to the different wineries check out my post “Sipping through Seattle: Wine Tasting on Bainbridge Island”). Recently, I had the opportunity to return to Bainbridge Island and explore some new wineries as well as visit old favorites during their annual “Wine on The Rock” event.

Horses and wine are two of my favorite things, so of course I jumped at the opportunity to spend a week riding horses through the Champagne region of France. Galloping through vineyards by day and clinking glasses filled with champagne by night was a perfect vacation pairing, and an overall incredible experience.
When I was younger I'd lose myself in the pages of horse vacation magazines, dreaming of the day I'd make such an escapade my own. Now, as an adult, the realization of that dream was profoundly gratifying. Treating myself to this long-awaited journey was not only a dream realized but a testament to the fulfillment of our aspirations.
Cheers to living your dreams. 🥂
