okay monica...I think I found your new niche. travel vlogging. you are amazing at comparing and honoring the cities you are exploring. would love more vids like this :)

@rachelfritz 2 года назад

Second this! the first video i’ve ever seen from monica was when she was in sweden

@makaylarobles 2 года назад

I third this! Love literally everything about this video Monica! Give us more :)

@andrielweir 2 года назад

It would be cool if she focused on smaller places to visit. Sure we all know about the big well known cities but I know there is so much more out there to explore!

Monica: "and our first stop that we're going to today is - " Shelby: "Starbucks!" hahaha 😅

Bend is so sunny because it benefits from the 'rainshadow effect', where the mountains just west of Bend catch all of the rain coming through Portland and western oregon, so that by the time the clouds reach Bend in eastern OR, there's no more rain left in them :)

@NormanF62 2 года назад

Nice collab with your sister Shelby! The reviews of California and Oregon wineries/breweries on the way back to Seattle was worth it. If you guys were sommeliers, you could make a nice living just sampling wines all over the world. That said, this vlog was a welcome diversion from your usual affairs. Well done!

Thank you!

I couldn´t have described it any better.

@user-sx6eu4rg2x 2 года назад

This looks like so much fun, I had no idea such a place like Bend existed but it looks like a fun town to visit!

@astrocutie37 2 года назад

Loved this video Monica! You kill it with this type of content every time, please pleaseeeee do more! I’d literally watch a video of you comparing how different types of paint dry 😅

@Cat-qn1yw 2 года назад

I wish you would have shown the beauty of the mountains and buttes and Deschutes river in Bend. It’s sooo beautiful. Napa is beautiful too, but Bend is really stunning.

@MonicaChurch 2 года назад

I wish I could too! Sadly I was only there for one day.. no enough time to see it all but I want to go back

@MsCdngrrl 2 года назад

@@MonicaChurch I'd love you to do Sonoma to compare it to Napa because I hear it's cheaper because, although well known, not as much so as Napa. That would be interesting and totally up your alley

@nikkiep23 2 года назад

Being from California, l love wineries. I visited Napa last October. Sonoma is really nices too . I'm not a beer girl but l appreciate the vibe that the breweries were giving.

@healthycitizen1926 2 года назад

Im a guy but can I just appreciate how comfortable your fashion choices are😂😂😂😂 . Like The usual hoodie and joggers cant go wrong 10/10 comfortable , but even your napa outfit with a loose fitted dress shirt and baige slacks looks comfortable just something i noticed😂😂🧘

@jj-if6it 2 года назад

The West Coast looks so pretty, can't wait to explore there one day and maybe do a roadtrip like yourselves. I have only seen LA and Vancouver. I love all the forests!

@Bronnybronny 2 года назад

With the mountains right next to bend and the coast beyond the mountains, the ocean brings in rain and the rain evaporates when it goes over the mountains into the bend. This is also known as a “rain shadow.”

@melissaanderson5462 2 года назад

Loving the amount of videos posted lately!

@tammybunes5242 2 года назад

I just want to say, I know you have been struggling with motivation for videos but I really enjoy your content and love seeing you and shelby together! Keep up the great work

@kerrimosich6217 2 года назад

Wine tasting fees are usually waived when you buy a bottle. We love bend and usually go a week or longer per year, sun river is so fun!

@leanesvold 2 года назад

Omg my friend works at Ashes & Diamonds! So happy you got to check out Napa!! Come back soon :)

@musicandme5658 2 года назад

Fun video! My neighbors stayed at Brasada Ranch Resort near Bend and absolutely loved it.

@Kiritoswordsman597 2 года назад

I love this road trip vlog!😃❤

@marissa9860 2 года назад

Love seeing y’all live y’all best life. Also hair looks great ❤️

@KristaHarrisSB 2 года назад

Fun video! If you love wine tasting, you might consider Santa Barbara County - it’s probably a 4-5 hour drive from Palm Springs. The wines are amazing and the tastings are affordable.

@Nicole.Sisson 2 года назад

Looks like a fun road trip!! I've never been to Napa Valley but I have been to Bend and LOVED it!!

@SoraMTeichman 2 года назад

Fantastic footage and editing! Love the style of the vid, Monica!

@ct8018 2 года назад

Napa’s for auto parts, Sonoma is for wine…Hall has that huge bunny statue….visit Iron Horse for bubbles….Santa Rosa airport is not very close to Napa, still a long ride over the mountains from Sonoma, fly into SF…for Napa…

@chicagofan7057 2 года назад

Man, I bet Shelby is so happy to have her Tesla back with these crazy gas prices.

@MonicaChurch 2 года назад

Seriously! I wish I had one now!!!

@tess9099 2 года назад

Klamath Falls is the city of sunshine, It has over 300 days of sun. I know I grew up there. I remember Bend when before it exploded into what it is now. So glad you got to visit there.

@KavaKavana 2 года назад

Good pick. Bend. Ahh been living there for many years. Snowboarding bachelor and kayaking the deschutes plus fly fishing the deschutes and hiking/mountain biking the river trail in front of my mouse plus caves and hot springs near by, camping off roading and a million more things. If you like to do healthy activities and play in the sun and snow then it’s the best.

@marysolsousa8518 2 года назад

Really enjoyed this video especially the collab with your sister ! 👌Hope we get to see more this type of videos 😁🤞🏻

@johnsaxongitno4life588 2 года назад

I am going to watch this amazing video later on today as it is 4 am here in Australia on Sunday morning xxx

@anaitzaroman4013 2 года назад

I don’t even drink and this video kept me interested the entire time. Always love your videos

@nak223 2 года назад

WOW, from my standpoint this really is one of the best, surprising Videos you have made, so far. LOVE IT ! Thanks a lot for taking us with you. Lots of love from Germany.

@TaylorONeal 2 года назад

I keep doing that road trip PS to Seattle too. Such an interesting landscape in the high desert especially in winter (though carry car chains in case). The snowshoe trip in Bend to a bonfire with local coffee vodka tasting was awesome! The Humm kombucha tasting or CBD soda like Ablis are good too. The refurbished motel to adventure motel LOGE is great to learn and be right on the mountain bike trail.

@adriennegroves2897 2 года назад

Sonoma (especially west county) and Mendocino are great for more affordable wine tastings, like lots of options under $30. Napa is insane. Not worth it! Lots of great hikes and outdoor activities to do in Napa and Sonoma county! Great breweries around Sonoma county!

@alyyoung 2 года назад

Yes so true I live in Sonoma county and I rarely ever go to Napa. Sonoma county is like Napa and bend Oregon had a baby. Just as many breweries food trucks and down to earth people with the addition of all the great wine.

@4mmccall 2 года назад

Easily my favourite video of yours! Incredible and soo funny 😂

@hayley9546 2 года назад

This was such a fun video Monica!! Makes me so excited for my trip this August with my boyfriend to a spot in northeast Wisconsin that's known for its wineries! Ahhhhh I can't wait. I'm a beer lover but like to drink wine occasionally too. Would love to visit the wineries and breweries on the west coast some day!

@jamiesmith4658 2 года назад

Your hair is so pretty in this video!!! Can’t wait to visit Bend one day!

@jessicapackard8008 2 года назад

Next time you go to Bend I 100% recommend Riverhouse on the Deschutes - Super nice hotel! Our favorite place to stay when we go

@sandy949 2 года назад

First stop, Starbucks!! Haha I feel ya ❤. Great destinations, thanks for sharing!

@angelakaiser3110 2 года назад

I lived in Bend. Ale Apothecary sour brew is my favorite!

@jubbles01 2 года назад

Ever since your video on Hotwire I’ve always used it to book hotels! Such a great hack!

@AndyDJane 2 года назад

Bend is my favourite place on planet earth. That's coming from a New Zealander Bend is an outdoor enthusiasts dream!

@shelleyhuskey1870 2 года назад

Tip: A lot of wineries reduce the cost of the tastings when you buy a bottle!

@renesteinhauser2742 2 года назад

I've never heard of Bend, but I'll add it to my list! Sounds right up my alley.

@drama4anna 2 года назад

I'm from Bend and we get about 250-300 days of sunshine a year!

@monicarobs 2 года назад

Amazing job! Need more videos like this. Loved it 🙂

@YulaTsheringSherpa 2 года назад

Now I’m really looking forward to visiting Bend, maybe after receiving the new Sony 24-70 GM ii lens sometime this month, which I’m soo looking forward to also. Thank you for this vid 💗

@sndashko 2 года назад

Bend is the happy place to go to escape the PNW soggy weather! Also best skiing in the PNW with Mt. Batchelor…probably the only resort class skiing out here.

@raquel2905 2 года назад

I now want to plan a trip to Bend 🌿

@lauraelisee 2 года назад

Don’t forget Sonoma Valley! It gets forgotten because of Napa, but it’s awesome there! 😊

@ImDrivingwalkingAround 2 года назад

I love the road trips 😍 and your vlogs too ❤️.

@ambivalencestudios1280 2 года назад

As a bay area local, Sonoma is where its at! So much more to do in comparison to Napa, and wayyyy cheaper and more down to Earth wine tastings!

@aliciaking1009 2 года назад

Awe, I’m from Bend! So cool to see it in your video. You should definitely go back later in the summer, it’s super fun and there’s so much going on. Let me know if you need a tour guide! 😆

@JilliannShea 2 года назад

This is so fun to watch as someone from central oregon!

@karlyd7274 2 года назад

Yup, if you want more reliable sunshine in Oregon, the Bend/Redmond area is the place to be.

@wineguy2246 2 года назад

Been to Napa region a number of times and i much prefer staying in Sonoma or Healdsburg. Much more laid back. Calistoga and St. Helena are cool too on the northern part of Napa valley.

@MaiaDeg 2 года назад

I love this content!!!! Seriously! This is so interesting!

@megaprimegamer1184 2 года назад

DO more of these vlogs! Napa is beautiful but yeah its just wineries. You did go to Yountville which has a lot of the fancier restaurants in the country..

@farmgirlwithcurls 2 года назад

Love this video so much, going to save this to travel to both places!

@fashionbyally 2 года назад

you guys should stop in yountville or st. helena for food next time, it's super walkable and cute!

@cathleenhamby4723 2 года назад

There is so much to do in and around Napa! But Sonoma, Santa Rosa, Petaluma and many other small towns are within a 30 minute drive with access to more affordable accommodations and a wide variety of wineries and breweries. Oh, and don' forget a mudbath and massage in Calistoga!

@carlastutts1080 2 года назад

The mudbath and massage I had up there was so nice. And you’re absolutely right

@LolWinniee 2 года назад

What were your recs for the mud baths?

@claireegan4334 2 года назад

Loved this! You’ll have to come to the Okanagan next for wine tasting

@meganlabbe3392 2 года назад

I'm going to Bend today for a work trip and this just made me sooo excited to go!! If anyone is looking for another great option to stay in Bend check out Riverhouse on the Deschutes!

@justinewhite-hadley3138 2 года назад

Ok this is Hilarious! I used to work at Mumm!! It was such a good time of life. I am now a pet sitter with my own business, and I work in Yountville and walk by RH daily! I also pet sit at Senza! What a hoot! Oh and the words you were looking for in the car in regards to allll the tasting you had were The Napa Happys or slightly Over Tasted lol

@mexicantraveleronabudget1196 2 года назад

😂 loved the vlog and Napa is our destination of choice since it’s so close to us. Drink water next time. There is so much to do in the Napa area and you missed plenty. Food and wine on a budget is doable. Sonoma, St Helena, downtown Napa well maybe next time.

@Xezero 2 года назад

We were just in Walla Walla this weekend! Would definitely recommend if you haven’t been before! We love it even more than Bend and Napa! Especially driving through the Palouse fields this time of year! :)

@hastyink 2 года назад

Walla wall, wa?? That small college town? Might as well recommend Yakima wa as well. I may be biased because I live less than 40 minutes away, but i wouldn’t compare it to bend or Napa. I would compare walla walla to; yakima, tri cities, prosser wa, hermiston, pellenton, and umitila oregon.

@khatrenreed731 2 года назад

Ah sending love from Bend, OR🌲 you should visit again for longer though to see all it has to offer!

Bend Oregon is one of my favorite places I’ve ever been! I’m from Florida 🥰

@thetypical 2 года назад

Monica, you should take a trip out to Texas Wine Country! Fredericksburg, Texas is about a couple hours outside of San Antonio, and it’s such a fun vibe to go to each winery. You would definitely get more of a Texas experience more so than Austin or Dallas. Highly recommend and very affordable!!

@jnrs15 2 года назад

Spent the video focusing on Monica’s hair. 😍

@Krista16K 2 года назад

I've been missing Bend so much. We're heading up the Seattle in a few months and definitely need to stop back off at Bend

@sleeepyt3042 2 года назад

Not a hint of dirt 😂😂😂 omg that was so funny to me

@redial38 2 года назад

Go to Healdsburg instead of Napa, it’s cheaper and the vibes are way more chill!

@suelyons531 2 года назад

Appreciate the honesty.

@alliesauer4388 2 года назад

you should've stopped in Livermore!!! Livermore is about an hour and a half from Napa or like 45 mins to an hour from SF. Livermore valley has SO MANY amazing wineries!!!! Highly recommend!!!

@MonicaChurch 2 года назад

Next time!

@staciarney8158 2 года назад

Thanks for stopping by The Ale Apothecary, Monica! I have a couple of your fans ask what beer you were drinking at our tasting room? Was it the Sahati with spruce tips? Thanks for your help!

@christinabrame679 2 года назад

Napa is Insane, Sonoma is where it’s at! I remember having 10-15$ tastings there.

@janessaewing7727 2 года назад

I live in bend! Thanks for visiting:)

@bmartens2009 2 года назад

I live 2 hours from Napa and Bend is one of my favorite cities.

I like flying into Sacramento rather than San Fran to get to Santa Rosa. Less crowded, less traffic to get there.

@marylouisejepsen343 2 года назад

Loved the video!!

@summeryoung8325 2 года назад

For the best wine country experience, Sonoma County is the way to go. They have amazing wineries and it’s more affordable than Napa. There’s also so much to do outdoors in Sonoma County. There’s redwoods, the Russian River and the beautiful coastline all within reach.

@TuckerPearce 2 года назад

Sweet vanilla creamed cold brew USB🔥🎉 Had to give them up as I like a refill and well I can’t drink more than one cold brew a day. Caffeine jitters 🤣 Love a good oat-milk latte as well with some caramel or vanilla.

@brookehuling2274 2 года назад

Suddenly I need to go to Napa

@mrslisalindgren 2 года назад

I loved this capture of Bend. As a local I still saw some things I haven’t seen but also as a local… let me give you some hotspots for your next visit… if you’re interested in more of the “local” feel. Another video!? (i.e. best Fish Taco’s you have ever had! or best Locals Brewery, or best Locals; this or that).

@MrVikingsandra 2 года назад

Hah! I'm gonna do a wine tasting activity in OR...😄 Apparently they have really good pinot noir

When you said birthday and bachelorette party, I wasn’t paying full attention, I thought 1) you and Shelby were celebrating your birthday in May, when this was filmed and 2) one of you was engaged 😂
