Item Description

The quintessential wine experience for all self-proclaimed connoisseurs, this package includes all the necessary ingredients for an indulgent vacation to the notorious and alluring Napa Valley, California, including airfare, accommodations, and a private vineyard tour and tasting. Named by Food & Wine Magazine as one of the “75 Best Wineries to Visit in California”, Pine Ridge Vineyards is a beautiful, sprawling estate that spans 200-acres across five appellations. Poised, balanced and classically proportioned, the expressive wines born from these vineyards reflect a distinctive Old World approach to winemaking coupled with a commitment to future sustainability and innovation. The winning bidder will receive a private tour of Pine Ridge Vineyards beginning in their estate vineyards and proceeding through their wine production facilities and wine caves, where they’ll stop for an exclusive barrel sample. Afterwards, you and your guest will enjoy a refreshing wine tasting, choosing from an array of experiences designed for every palate. At the end of the day, retire to The Meritage, an award-winning resort offering world-class luxury in the heart of Napa Valley. Just like the wine that inspired its name, The Meritage Resort and Spa is the perfect blend of wine tasting, dining, spa services, beautiful event spaces, romance and indulgence.
