The Ole! Report featuring Dalia Ceja

Visit downtown Napa for a spontaneous day full of shopping, wine tasting, dining & romance!

The weather in Napa has been unseasonably warm with highs in the mid- 70’s. Our entire neighborhood seems to have shifted overnight into Spring with smells of jasmine and orange blossoms lingering in the air. Yesterday afternoon was the perfect time for a healthy walk in downtown Napa’s Riverfront neighborhood. Accented with ebony railings and antique-inspired lampposts, this paved path meanders along the west bank of the Napa River. It’s a charming place to enjoy a casual stroll where you are surrounded by rural beauty, elegant boutiques, art galleries, and endless restaurants and tasting rooms at your beck and call. I love that I can call this area my backyard!

The outfit: Sometimes dresses that look a bit awkward on the hanger turn out to be the most fun to wear. This festive and totally on-trend Diane Von Furstenberg tribal wrap dress is just what you need to mix things up. But then again, anything that pairs bright citrusy colors with a tribal print typically gets my vote. Ole!

  Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride… - John F. Kennedy

Since moving to downtown Napa, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of owning a pretty cruiser with a basket and bell attached {to stylishly cruise around town}. My wish was granted a few months ago when my boyfriend surprised me with the most thoughtful gift – my very own mint green & cream cruiser! I swear, it was love at first sight.

There is something so liberating and freeing when you’re holding those handlebars and the wind is gently blowing through your hair. I love everything about biking and find it to be completely and totally relaxing. Living in downtown Napa makes cruising so accessible, especially with all of the great restaurants, tasting rooms and boutiques at your beck and call.

One of my favorite afternoon rides has been to the Oxbow Market, where I find myself gravitating toward Three Twins ice cream for a tasty treat {the Cardamom Spice & Earl Grey flavors are amazing!}. Ole!

P.s. Sunset rides are the best. Ole!
