Planning the wedding of your dreams is by no means any easy task.
From picking the venue, entertainment and decor, to finding a dress, choosing a cake and making the guest list, every bride has to make a myriad of major decision before walking down the aisle.
But you know what's even more exciting than making all the arrangements for the day you finally take the plunge? Getting your girl squad together for one last celebration before the wedding, of course.
Yep, if there's one thing that's just as important as the day you say “I do,” it's spending some quality time with your besties in the form of an epic bachelorette party.
Because let's be real: If you're going to make the most out of your last days as a free woman, you might as well live it and go out with a bang.
However not all bride-to-bes are down for the basic bachelorette trip to Vegas. If the thought of drinking tequila out of dick-shaped shot glasses and blacking out in a trashy strip club makes you cringe, have no fear. We just stumbled upon the perfect place to host a sophisticated bachelorette bash: wine country.
We recently had the chance to tag along on a girl's trip Napa Valley with JetBlue, and this lush la la land offers all sorts of booze-filled fun that you and your squad will never forget.
I mean seriously, it's basically impossible to have a bad time when you have a weekend filled with good friends, great wine, gourmet food and gorgeous sights.
Check out all the reasons you should have your bachelorette party in Napa:
You can pregame with wine on the plane.
If you're looking to treat yourself before the trip even begins, you can opt for JetBlue's Mint experience and prep your palette with a sky high wine tasting.
Mint serves some of California's best wines, so you can start get a preview of some sips from Napa and Sonoma before you even get off the airplane.

Whether your looking for reds, whites, big vineyards, small farms, super formal tastings, wine pairings or a low-key tasting alongside the vines, you'll be sure to find the perfect place to host a classy bachelorette bash with your BFFs.
Plus, if you're really looking to turn up, some vineyards will even let you kick off your shoes and have a go at stomping the grapes.

To put it simply, everything in this bountiful valley tastes like pure bliss. Napa is big on the whole farm-to-table type dining trend and most of the restaurant take advantage of what the neighboring farms have to offer by serving rustic dishes made with fresh, seasonal ingredients that are unlike anything you're tastebuds have ever experienced before.
