Omg!! Salamander is sooo beautiful! 💕Definitely adding this on the list! They even took the time to make their grass visually appealing!! Looks like y’all had a good time and enjoyed the local wineries too!

[@FindingTheForresters]

Looks like you ladies had a great time! I haven’t stayed at the Salamander yet but I know people who have and they highly recommend it so I need to go there soon.

[@FindingTheForresters]

We had a great time. It was our 2nd time visiting. I want to go to the spa next time!

[@seus2731]

awesome video, thank you!

[@FindingTheForresters]

Thanks for watching!

[@TravelVerse]

Love the resort and that it was black owned! Thanks for sharing@ only 8 hours away. A good weekend trip!

[@MsJonesy]

I enjoyed your video. Those places are less than 2 hours away. I’ll have to check them out!

[@FindingTheForresters]

Thanks for watching. Definitely check it out!

[@BobbyRobert]

We are so lucky to be close to Napa I sometimes forget there are so many other places to get great wine . We want to definitely check out the black own place you stayed. We’re their any black owned winery in Virginia ? That Gumbo look soooo good .

[@FindingTheForresters]

We were so upset we had to cancel Napa 😩. We will definitely reschedule the trip. Yes, our friend owns a vineyard in the area: Delaplane vineyard is black owned. It’s amazing, definitely check it out!

[@BobbyRobert]

Thank you will do . Make sure you reach out when your ready for Napa or San Francisco

[@bccjkd]

I wish I had seen this 2mo age could’ve celebrated my 20th year anniversary will check it out for next year thanks for sharing

[@FindingTheForresters]

Aww man! Maybe next year!

[@MrzCRiley]

Good to know, thanks for sharing! No judgement, snack on😊

Sheila Crump Johnson co-founder of BET, is the owner and CEO of Salamander Hotels and Resorts, and other resorts. She is the first African-American woman to be an owner or partner in three professional sports franchises: the Washington Capitals (NHL), the Washington Wizards (NBA), and the Washington Mystics (WNBA).

[@FindingTheForresters]

Yep, that’s the owner of Salamander

[@jasminesays]

I had no idea it was black owned ♡ i'm so excited for my stay now

[@FindingTheForresters]

Yep! I’ve also heard the spa is amazing...will definitely check it out next time!

[@reavleeful]

I am hooked on the Fenty skin!

[@nursecatorn3449]

That’s a very high end menu & dishes easy to muff up! -as a Chef aficionado how was the risotto? Scallops? And was that filet on point? Thinking of flying there to treat daughter for her 38th birthday. She’s who’re Hennessy-I’m all about the cork & vintage. 🤣

[@poet82n]

Thinking about hosting my 4th Annual Girls Trip here. We're coming from Cali but I love Sheila (the owner) and her story and I'm all about. The chill vibes. Did all 4 of you stay in the same room?

[@FindingTheForresters]

Hi! It was just 3 of us and yes, we shared a room.

[@Sweetquietstorm7536]

Thanks for the great video. How was the food and wine?

[@FindingTheForresters]

Thank you! The food at Harriman’s was amazing. The beverages were also good. We did not order a bottle of wine at dinner, we brought our own and paid the cork fee.

[@FindingTheForresters]

[@shatimar9069]

Ok ok. I Sub!! #SHATIMAR here from #DMV & #FOODNETWORK. Ty. Im gonna try this StayCation Hereeee lol 😆

[@tierrastrike8371]

Were you able to find a black-owned B.B in Napa?

[@kesm66]

Was peeping it but 1k per night is a bit steep for this brother…black owned or not?😂 I’ll have to mull it over😮

[@FindingTheForresters]

Yes, it can get costly. They run deals sometimes and it’s less during the week but it’s definitely a splurge. We usually stay one night and then head on out 🤣

[@luvpurple95]

Listen i called this hotel today asking if it was and the reception people were getting a whole attitude with me

[@FindingTheForresters]

That's not good for them to get an attitude with you. You were asking if it's Black-owned? It is. You can look that up.
