@borderlandfestival 2026: big 🐟, cozy camp 🎶☮️🚐 by @alyssabelasco

summer’s encore, fall edition:
tales from a yes girl 🍂🥃🪩🐾 by @alyssabelasco

If the @_nykitchen Garden Party is my Super Bowl, then The Sparkling Table earlier this week was our victory parade, and the official kickoff to *my* summer.

From the sparkling wine lineup, with each producer in attendance, to the stunning venue overlooking @lincolnhillfarms new flower fields and invisible barn, to a sold-out crowd. I said it then and I’ll say it again: I was happier than a pig in shit.

Thank you to my team, I’m looking at you, @jennykaethe & @loradownie, @ccschmitt, @dakotawells82, and @mollybroccolo, for bringing this event to life, and for redirecting me every time I asked how I could help. You allowed me to truly soak in the magic.✨

Thank you to the LHF team, @erinmcdonaldco, @drfrankwine, @redtailridgewinery, @trestle_31, @hearthandswine, @hosmerwinery, @hermannjwiemer, and @littlecloverwine (we missed you @eemcmurrough)!

And big shout out to @nina_piccini for capturing the night beautifully (many of these images are courtesy of Nina, a few are from my dirty, doesn’t hold a charge iPhone).😊

Cheers to FLX wine and NY bubbles, forever!🍾 by @alyssabelasco

Tots up, it’s what’s for dinner 🥔

Made @mollyyeh Chickpea Tot Hotdish from the @cherrybombe substack, it did not disappoint.

Sure, maybe a little excessive for an 80 degree day. But I’m being indoorsy today, in that casserole baking, cult documentary watching sort of way. It’s how I recharge!🔋 by @alyssabelasco

June joy, and this was just one week ☀️ So much local goodness all in one post.

Not pictured (but equal joy): cult documentaries, peels za, and couch movies with @keeperofthepop ♥️ by @alyssabelasco

Yesterday we celebrated our sweet boy, the most gentle giant (and ultimate foodie), Max, on his 9th birthday.♥️

Shore do! #PopLife by @alyssabelasco

Moderating a Fireside Chat always feels a bit like being part interviewer, part guide, and last night was a special one as we celebrated the launch of my friend @thepamsherman’s new book, Play You, The Role of a Lifetime.

We covered everything from the “believability gap” to leadership, storytelling, and showing up with intention, plus some great audience insights along the way.

Also incredibly generous of Pam to gift each attendee a copy of her book, such a thoughtful way to extend the conversation beyond the evening while supporting @_nykitchen’s educational programming!

It’s pub week, and Pam’s book is already number 6 in her category. Get yourself a copy! by @alyssabelasco

Hello PTO! Spent the last week in Woodinville exploring Washington wine, and so much more, with @womenforwinesense and repping @winesenseflx.🍷

From tastings and keynotes to workshops on goal setting (using the same intention you’d bring to choosing a great bottle of wine!) and making wine drinkers feel smarter, hotter, and more interesting—this trip was equal parts fun, educational, and bursting with inspo.✨

Huge thank you to the incredible team who brought the Women For WineSense Grand Event to life.🙌

I’m not exactly a “relax on vacation” kind of gal (though I’m open to trying, I hear it’s nice!), but this trip gave me the chance to learn, connect, and explore, while truly disconnecting from life back home. Grateful to @keeperofthepop for holding down the fort, and to my amazing team at @_nykitchen for doing the same.

New wines, new friendships, and plenty of reasons to celebrate 🍾 thanks to Women For WineSense and members from coast to coast! by @alyssabelasco

My sweet boys ❤️ 🐾

Ollie’s chart says he’s a handful [facts]

Maxi’s ADHD is off the charts—also, he’s hungry and wants to lick his doctor’s face off [possible]

Exam room looks like a bomb went off [confirmed]

Pretty sure they got it from their momma 💁🏻‍♀️ by @alyssabelasco
