While in Napa, I partook in my first wine tasting experience at Hess Winery, thanks to my brother now working there. But apart from that, we spent time checking out the Hess Collection. Sadly no pictures could be taken of the exhibit (which my mom had issues - mostly memory related haha- understanding), but there were some very interesting pieces.
For example, there was this carved wooden lady, with a very round torso, like a pregnant woman, with four spider-like legs. There was something about that piece that really made me think about the tantalizing effect 3D art can have - it really pulls you in and makes you want to examine it in a physical, tactile way.
Unfortunately we got there late & didn't have time to go on the Audio Tour (which I think is a couple hours long =/ ) - BUT if you are ever in Napa, I recommend it for sure!
Here are some photos I took of the winery itself:
Nicceee, it reminds me when I went to the tequila plantation in mexico. Though, it was much less glamorous then.
