Best Photo Opportunities
Besides the obvious photos of the mountains, here are a couple places I recommend for that perfect social media post!
Utah State Capitol
@hayleytaggart
Try to see it when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, but also a great view of downtown!
One of the prettiest state capitals in my opinion!

Bonneville Salt Flats
@hayleytaggart
Otherworldly place close to SLC! Make sure to time it the with the sunset!
However, it is an hour and a half driving one way to see this so it will take up a lot of time!

Big fan of local shops! All of these places are fantastic for finding that perfect gift
Liberty Heights Fresh
@hayleytaggart
Great spot to find small batch and unique food items. I loved buying their cheese scraps at a discount!

Tours/Classes
While Tea Zaanti is a great place to go for their fantastic tea and wine selection, head to their website for classes on wine and tea!
Tea Zaanti
@hayleytaggart
After a hard day of work or a lazy summer afternoon you want some tea... or something stronger. That is where Tea Zaanti is there for you.
MUST TRY-
Blueberry Matcha Latte (tastes just like a blueberry milkshake!)
Teamosa (your choice of tea and champagne!)
They have a fantastic (dog friendly!) patio and plenty of inside seating. It's a great place to sit and get some work done. With great selections of teas and wines you really can’t lose. You can even take a stroll and stop at many fantastic stores on the same street in Sugarhouse (but more on those stores later).
If you are a local, make sure to also get on their email list. They always have great wine tastings and other events! Braden and I went to one on our mini-honeymoon and had a fantastic time.

I have never been disappointed in a Caputo's class. There is everything from Wine classes, cocktail making courses, and tours through Italy foods! Their are options with and without alcohol too. Make sure to book in advance as they do sell out!
Caputo's Market & Deli
@hayleytaggart
Not only is this a great place to shop for delicious unique food items, but their cooking and tasting classes are the best!
Make sure to sign up in advance because they will sell out. Always a blast!

Downtown Farmers' Market
@hayleytaggart
this farmer's market punches way above it's weight class as far as options! In the summer it is outside, but head over to the Gateway in the winter months for it to be hosted inside!
