A Countryside Day Trip with My Levi’s® Denim Bag

 

Roses, chocolates, and…a Levi’s® denim bag as a Valentine’s Day gift? My husband truly understands me! Finding a stylish and spacious bag for day trips can be challenging, but this one hit the mark perfectly. We’ve been planning a countryside day trip to visit several wineries in Connecticut. I needed a day bag to hold snacks and a few favorite wine bottles we discovered at the wineries. The Levi’s® denim bag effortlessly fits all our essentials, seamlessly blending functionality with timeless style. It’s become my go-to bag for day trips!

The Perfect Bag for Countryside Adventures

Planning a countryside day trip, especially one that involves winery hopping, requires a strategic bag choice. The day bag needs to be spacious enough for snacks, water (I rarely leave the house without water!), and of course, those precious bottles of wine you discover along the way. I love visiting wineries and sampling wine flights to discover hidden gems before purchasing a bottle or two. This way, my husband (the designated driver) can enjoy them later, and the fun continues at home! Supporting local businesses is the cherry on top.   

Key features that won us over:

  • Spacious interior: This bag is a champion of space at almost 18 inches deep and just over 12 inches wide. It easily accommodates a charcuterie spread and water bottles alongside souvenir bottles of wine.

  • Open-top design: The bag’s open-top design is perfect for stacking items that extend beyond the top. 

  • Functional pockets: Don’t underestimate the power of pockets! The inside and outside pockets are ideal for smaller items, making it easy to access them. 

  • Comfortable carry: The long straps ensure a comfortable fit on your shoulders throughout your day’s exploration. Plus, the 100% cotton denim makes it surprisingly lightweight yet durable, perfect for extended walks through the vineyards.

A Day at the Wineries with a Stylish Companion 

The morning air was crisp and the sun was brightly shining, a picture-perfect day for a countryside day trip. We started our day with the delightful task of packing our Levi’s® denim bag. We tossed in a mix of nuts, crunchy granola, mouth watering fruit, crispy crackers, and an assortment of meat – the perfect fuel for a day of wine tasting and exploration. And we never forget the most essential item…water, to keep us hydrated throughout the day. Making good use of the smaller interior pocket, we pack napkins and a small utility knife to cut the meats. With ample space remaining for our anticipated wine purchases, we hit the road, eager to discover the charm of Connecticut’s wineries.

The beauty of a day trip is not just about the destination, but in the journey itself (I know, it’s a cliché, but that's how we make the most of our day trips). I love finding scenic routes on winding roads that weave their magic through the picturesque countryside. Another favorite is finding wineries that have live music, which as they say music is good for the soul (I know, another cliché). With our route mapped out, we were ready for a day filled with discovery.

The spirit of exploration extends beyond the planned itinerary. We kept our eyes peeled for interesting stops, like farmers markets or roadside stands. Staying open-minded and curious, we never know what we might find. Sure enough, we picked up vibrantly colored flowers that perfectly complemented the blue denim bag and the lush vineyard backdrop. The open-top design of the Levi's® denim bag made it easy for the flowers to flow out. 

Arriving at the wineries, a sense of tranquility washed over us. Each winery offered a unique atmosphere – some relaxed and intimate, others lively with music. We reveled in the beautiful landscapes, tapped our toes to the music, and enjoyed the people around us. It was a day of simple pleasures and just being present. 

Adding Flair and Your Personal Touch

The beauty of the Levi's® denim bag is its timeless simplicity. It’s a blank canvas waiting for your personal touch! Just like dressing up your favorite pair of Levi's® jeans, you can add a pop of color and personality in several ways:

  • Scarves & bandanas: Tie a brightly colored scarf or a bandana around the handle for a touch of flair. Coordinate the colors with the red Levi's® tab logo and patch for a cohesive country-chic look. 

  • Pins & patches: Express yourself with pins or patches that reflect your interests or the theme of your trip. For a permanent touch, check out Levi's® Tailor Shop for various customization options, including embroidery and patches.  

  • Mix and match: Get creative and show off your style. Combine a scarf with a pin or two for a truly unique look.
