Ever wonder how those luscious grapes get from the vineyard to the table?

Here is your opportunity to enjoy a one of a kind hands-on blending experience with winemaker extraordinaire, Dawnine Dyer, at award-winning Meteor Vineyard in the acclaimed Coombsville AVA.

Every stage of growing grapes and making wine contains its own challenges, surprises and rewards. The final blend of Meteor Vineyard wine highlights the strengths of each of the three clones of Cabernet Sauvignon in the vineyard. You will get to listen and learn from the masters and participate in the tasting and blending of fruit from the 2011 harvest. And when you all agree that you’ve arrived at the best representation of the Meteor Vineyard, you'll have an insider’s view of this incredible vineyard and a sneak peak at what others will enjoy in the future.

After your blending session, enjoy a casual lunch at the vineyard with Dawnine and vineyard manager Mike Wolf, who will regale you with stories of farming this magical land in Napa Valley's newest AVA. And, so that this day will remain in your memories, bring home a magnum of the stellar 2008 Meteor Perseid Cabernet Sauvignon.
