Item Description

Discover the beauty, culinary wonders, and world renowned wines of California’s celebrated Napa Valley with a weekend of private experiences and once in a lifetime opportunities.   Upon your arrival in the Napa Valley you will be welcomed to a private seated tasting in the library rooms of Franciscan Oakville Estate, one of the pioneer wineries of the early 1970’s, followed by a private lunch prepared by the winery’s chef.  After your lunch, you will be hosted at the winery that put Napa Valley on the global wine map – Robert Mondavi Winery.  Since 1966, Robert Mondavi Winery has been making wines that stand in the company of the worlds finest.  Here you will be given a tour of the winery’s stunning cellars, and weather permitting a personal guided tour of the famed To Kalon Vineyard including the 66 year old Sauvignon Blanc vines of the vineyard’s I-Block.  After the tour you will be given the keys to the Franciscan Winery Estate House where you will have accommodations for the evening surrounded by vineyards and views of the majestic Mayacamus Mountains.   After some free time, you will be welcomed back to Robert Mondavi Winery for an intimate dinner in the Vineyard Room hosted by Margrit Biever Mondavi (scheduling based on mutual agreement).
 
On Sunday, start your day with a walking tour at Quintessa followed by a tasting.   This landmark estate, founded in 1989 on virgin soil, was planted in 1991 and has continually produced wines of elegance, balance, and distinction.  The winery, which has won architectural awards, was completed in 2001.   The balance of your day is free; however, your hosts are all willing to assist you with reservations and suggestions for additional visits and activities.
