I’m only 47 days away from running my 3rd marathon – the Napa Valley Marathon on March 3. I’ve been getting ready to run – I just logged 16 miles on Saturday – and I’m also getting ready for the fun that’s going to take place afterwards at the Second Annual Wine Sisterhood Gathering.

I had the opportunity to attend the first Gathering and had such an amazing experience that I knew I’d want to reunite with my #winesisters again – even after running 26.2 miles on the morning the festivities begin. I wonder if running by beautiful vineyards will make the wine taste sweeter?

Ahem. I digress.

Sometimes an event is so special it’s hard to explain it to others. I think this video does a fabulous job of giving a glimpse into the awesomeness of the Gathering. But … be warned: once you see it you will want to grab one of the few registrations left. They limit the group to only 40 women to make the experience extra special; and they’re almost full.

I’ll be staying at the gorgeous Andaz Napa in downtown Napa.

Chic, luxurious, and cozy are just a few words that come to mind when I think about the Andaz Napa. It was the host hotel last year and also where the Gathering’s social media seminars take place.

I’m counting the seconds looking forward to learning, networking, touring and tasting; I’m betting it’ll be the perfect fun after my marathon run.
