Today's giveaway is from Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the luxury and boutique hotel specialists. They're offering one lucky reader (and a friend) a trip to Napa Valley. You'd fly to San Francisco, stay for three nights (!) at the Carneros Inn, go wine-tasting and tour vineyards, and get a delicious cheese basket and other gourmet goodies. How amazing (and romantic) would that be?! Also, the hotel has an infinity pool, hot tubs and outdoors showers. :)For a chance to win, enter the giveway on Mr. and Mrs. Smith's website, anytime until Friday, September 9th. Go here to enter. Good luck! xoxo
One has to be from NY to enter. :(
ReplyDeleteOoh! I was just on that site this morning, looking for a place in LA. I looked up the amazing hotel you stayed in when you went there, but it's a little far from the downtown where I need to be for work. I want to stay one night (or more!) in all of their hotels!
ReplyDeleteYeah...I was excited and went to enter, but you have to live in NY state...and I'm from Canada. Too bad, this would be an amazing trip.
ReplyDeleteAww..that sounds so romantic. Off to check it out! Kisses:)

ReplyDeleteMajor letdown that you have to live in NY.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fantastic vacation! Can't wait to enter!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how quickly a person can change their address to NY in order to win :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Joanna! Crossing my fingers, feet, eyes, toes... well, you get the picture!
ReplyDeleteseeing as i just moved to SF this week, this would be perfect :)
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? This would be amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh please, oh please, oh please!
ReplyDeleteHi, Joana.
ReplyDeleteI would tell you that I admire very much. I subscribe to your site daily. I like it when you talk about NY. It is the busiest town that I went up today (logical the city I live (São Paulo) is not behind, but do not have the glamor that offers NY) and his writings and also help to practice my English. Thanks for the help every day.
Aww, I entered without reading the NY residency fine print. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteAre you flipping kidding me?! Best giveaway ever!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the best giveaway ever! I would love to win!

ReplyDeletehttp://lachapstickfanatique.blogspot.com
ohh, i'd love to enter, but the 'you have to live in ny' to enter is a huge caveat :(. we'll have to settle for our cheap-o canoeing and camping vacation instead!
ReplyDeleteI entered anyway although it said I had to be from NYC - can't I just get myself to NY and go from there? :o Nice trip.
ReplyDeleteThis place is just lovely. I have been here, altho never stayed the night. I wish i could enter, but alas, I am a California resident, not New York.
ReplyDeletehmm, I don't see on it prominently that it's just for NY kids, but maybe so. I entered anyhow. we could fly to rt to NY back for this.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely beautiful!!

ReplyDeleteGood luck to your New York winners! Perhaps you could post a picture or two from their trip for the rest of us to lust over.
So there I was ready to enter an awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHoping against hope that this would be the One giveaway I would actually win.
I could picture my husband and I in the Napa Valley, wine glass in hand, watching the sunset.
When all of a sudden the dark realization came over me that I do Not live in the state of New York.
Chucks!

ReplyDeleteSO sad to have such a wonderful giveaway from Mr. & Mrs. Smith (love them and get their emails) and have it only be for NY residents :-( I live close enough to NY to drive to the airport, but not in NY state. Very sad, and I wish you would have stated that ahead of time, because now my hopes are dashed! If it changes, please let us know.

ReplyDeleteAfter getting married in St. Helena (northern Napa) on a chilly January 3rd evening, I spent my wedding night at the Carneros Inn with my newly-minted husband. Outdoor showers, fireplaces, porches, exquisitely divine; can't wait to go back!
ReplyDelete(If they let me, a California resident, enter they would save an armful in cash in not having to fly me anywhere!)
Yes, major bummer that you have to be a New York resident to enter...! ??!
ReplyDeleteJust returned from a sublime week at Carneros! Truly fabulous.

ReplyDeleteThis place looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds just fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWell I entered but it said you have to be from NY to win :( Here's to hoping they change that! I would willingly scrap together some cash for a TN to NY Southwest flight and my best friend already lives in NYC! This sounds to die for!!!
ReplyDeleteahh! this is where my husband and i got engaged! carneros is hands down the best resort in napa valley. sosososo beautiful, with wonderful service and food that will blow your mind.
ReplyDeleteoh how i wish i were from the state of ny ...maybe they will just skim over that part when they look at my entry he he!
