This year for my 22nd birthday, I decided to visit a winery with my girls!! For the last year, I have been DYING to go to a winery to celebrate. For my 21st, I wanted to visit a winery in Florence but it didn’t work out. Instead, I pushed it back to this past weekend in my college town! I must say, birthdays are best spent with friends and wine 🤣

Now that I am back in Spokane, I went to the CUTEST spot in the valley. The winery we went to is Arbor Crest up on the prettiest bluff! I loved the giant view of the city and the European vibe of the grounds. I really felt like I was back in Italy!! To treat ourselves, we took a historical wine tour (only $10!) and wandered through the vineyard and gardens. We had the best tour guide too (s/o to Brandon) and had an absolute blast!

If you decide to go, I recommend trying their Riesling 😋 I love any white wine and this one was sweet and easy to drink as we walked around. I also would advise you to wear a low heel, there is some unsteady ground and lots of stairs! As for outfits, chose something that can withstand the wind!! My dress exposed quite a lot…

Overall, I had the best birthday weekend and I couldn't have done it without my friends!! Thank you girlies and thank you readers for joining in!!!

XOXO,

Lauren
