I don’t usually participate in “giveaways” but I am participating in this one because I am truly inspired by this woman, Misha Gillingham, and her site @farmluxe. Her site features life on her farm in Bainbridge, WA and the giveaway is a 2-night stay in the newly renovated guesthouse at their beautiful farm. (Go to the link on the bio page @farmluxe for information on how to enter).
.
I enjoy seeing the beautiful images of life on her farm and it is so inspirational in how she captures the beauty of the land, nature, animals and even the ordinary, everyday chores.
.
I have wanted to visit Bainbridge Island for years to explore and enjoy the natural beauty of the area by land and by sea (kayaking). I can’t imagine a better stay than at this luxurious farm with all the adorable animals to make this the optimal getaway.
.
The gist of this giveaway, so you understand my post, is to recreate one of the photographs on her page in your own way. So I am taking that to mean that the photo doesn’t need to be an exact replica but should reflect the inspiration of her photo.
.
I have posted my photo first and if you swipe you will see the inspirational photo I chose from @farmluxe. My photo is a view from my 10 acre property overlooking the vineyards of the Paso Robles Wine Region in Central California.
.
Visit Misha’s page @farmluxe for more inspiration and information, and for luxury travel inspiration she also has an extraordinary page @luxury_travel_show. 😁🌿

This is my first time back to the Bacara in Santa Barbara since it was taken over by the @ritzcarlton. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s new here and if there have been any changes implemented.
.
One nice perk that has been added is the addition of the Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge. Those who book at the club lounge level, will have access to the club serving light meals and snacks from 7am to 10pm. The club serves wine and beer and offers indoor and outdoor seating. @rcbacarasantabarbara
If you find yourself on the Central Coast in Ca, be sure to take a detour and visit the very charming towns of Santa Ynez, Los Olivos (not featured in video) and the adorable Danish town of Solvang. These towns offer unique shopping, delicious restaurants and charm galore!

Had an amazing evening arranged by Lisa Baserga of @avawineadventures, who specializes in wine and culinary adventures around the world ~ a @virtuosoltd affiliate.
.
The event was hosted in charming downtown Templeton, CA @figatcourtneys, a full service restaurant with a beautiful mission to train young adults with disabilities while serving farm to table style meals.
.
The evening started with a fun mixology demonstration from @yescocktailco @farmsteaded on how to create a cocktail with bitters.
.
Dinner was an amazing 5 course event, pairing the delicious creations of Chef Tyler Cole and the local wines of @calizawinery.
.
If you haven’t been to the central coast wine region lately, you’re missing out! Contact Lisa for more information @avawineadventures.
