Caldwell Vineyard
(Napa)

Enjoy an insider’s
tour and tasting for (2) and a three-night
stay in the Caldwell Vineyard Guest House. Your tasting will be with
founder John Caldwell or his winemaker, Marbue Marke, in their 20,000 square
foot cave where you will be immersed in his informative, intriguing
stories.  Hollywood has already taken
note of John Caldwell’s story; how he single-handedly became the first
Californian to discover and import rootstocks and grapevine clones from
France.  They are now referred to as the
“Caldwell Clones” and today, in a Bordeaux-style vineyard, clones are industry
standard.  Caldwell produces estate-grown
hillside fruit for its signature wines, “Gold”, “Silver” and “Rocket
Science”.  The new varietals collection
culminates Caldwell’s work over the last twenty-five years.

dinner for (2) created by Executive Chef, Gary Penir, and a guest winemaker

the last four years. During this time he has refined the skills and techniques
required to deliver exceptional foods from all over the world.  Recently, he has launched Cuisine GP designed to create excellent
food and a unique culinary experience for his guests in Napa Valley.

Cellars (Napa)
