ITINERARIES & MORE GIRLFRIENDS’ GETAWAY Your main squeeze is great and all, but your BFFs have a much higher capacity for Beaujolais and baby goat videos. This itinerary is for them … and you. MORNING: Rise and shine with a light breakfast at Cafe Sol — not because you’re cutting carbs, but because a full tummy may slow your asana down. Your next stop is SunCrest Orchard Alpacas and Fiber Works , where you’ll take a Trekking Tour with your own alpaca through the farm’s shade dappled orchards (comfy shoes required). On your way out, visit the Farm Store for a souvenir spun from 100 percent alpaca fiber. Unplug and paint outside the lines. Speaking of souvenirs, nothing says “girls’ trip” like a boutique crawl. Get your retail therapy at Klik (stylish/edgy), Pollux (vibrant/trendy) and Zephyr (upscale/designer). Then wrap up your afternoon with a wine tasting and tour at Two Rivers Winery and Chateau , which offers a wide range of award-winning varietals to try. AFTERNOON: Worked up an appetite on your mat? That’s good, because Tacoparty offers six appetizers and six tacos, rotating weekly — and you’ll probably want to try them all. Next, head over to Fat Cat Pottery to dive into your creative side. As a hands-on pottery studio, you can design ready-to-paint ceramics or throw and sculpt your own masterpiece. EVENING: Tonight, you’re destined for Le Rouge Restaurant and Piano Bar , where upscale French-inspired cuisine (savory crepes and Courvoisier Terrine, ma jolie amie? ) is accompanied by an impressive list of artisan cocktails and high-quality live jazz. It’s the perfect way to wind down after your whirlwind “chic” day.
