We'll be hitting the road soon for a week in Sonoma and Napa, and I've really been looking forward to this getaway! We decided to drive rather than fly so that a) we can follow our own timetable and b) we can bring wine and other gifts home without having to pack and ship.
Because we're driving, I have more flexibility with regard to what and how much to pack. But I still don't want to go overboard. As of today, the forecast is calling for warm-to-hot days and chilly evenings, so lightweight layers are key. Our activities will mostly be winery tours/tastings, and general sightseeing during the day, and dinners out in the evenings. Casual to "polished casual" will take us just about anywhere in this region.
So here's my fall packing list, from shoes to toppers...
Even for a road trip, it's become habit to start my travel wardrobe planning around the shoes.
I'm keeping it simple, and (mostly) sticking to a color palette of ivory, brown/rust and denim.

As of this writing, there isn't any rain in the forecast for the days we'll be visiting, but I may still bring this lightweight rain jacket.
I'm still finalizing my bag and jewelry choices. As with every travel wardrobe, I may make some last-minute substitutions if the weather forecast changes drastically. And I may add a "wild card" piece at the last minute, depending on my mood.
I'll be posting on Instagram while we're traveling, so be sure to follow for the latest. And just for my email subscribers, at the conclusion of our trip I'll have a special newsletter recap and travel guide, with my recommendations for lodging, meals and activities!
