Artful Living City Guide: Milan, Italy

More welcoming than Paris and less overwhelming than London, Milan is the favorite fashion capital of those in the know. Among the many reasons: its “drool-worthy interiors, a borderline-religious devotion to fashion, nice restaurants staffed by nice people and good-looking Uber drivers in suits,” according to Brooklyn, New York–based fashion writer Emilia Petrarca, a former fashion editor at The Cut and current author of the Shop Rat newsletter. “I love that its inhabitants are unabashedly fancy.”

Where to Go for Wine Tastings in Napa Valley

One of the many perks of staying in Yountville is its proximity to hundreds of vineyards and tasting rooms. One tasting room that stood out for its architecture and wine was Faust Haus. Set in a historic Victorian manor built in 1878, Faust is known for producing notable Cabernet Sauvignon from its vineyards in Coombsville.

Napa Valley Winery: Faust

Upon entering, we were greeted by a stunning stairway mural created by artist Roberto Ruspoli. Representing the journey to enlightenment, the artwork features a group of black-and-white figures with outstretched arms who follow you as you journey from the dark, moody interiors downstairs into the bright, white spaces upstairs.
