This journey through Napa Valley takes you through one of the most complex wine growing regions in the world. Spanning 26 miles, the valley experiences a range of weather and soil conditions that influence and embellish the wines produced in Napa Valley. The southern region enjoys cooling breezes and morning fog, inspiring cool-weather loving varietals such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. Moving north toward Calistoga, the climate heats up and the richer soils favor Cabernet, Merlot, some old vine Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy the day and the many appellations along the way on this "Napa Valley South to North" adventure.

Antica Napa Valley – Antinori Family Wine Estate
Begin your private tour and tasting for two at Piero’s Fountain, named in honor of patriarch Piero Antinori, where you will be greeted with a glass of Antica’s delicious Fossino Rosato (Rose’). Enjoy the view of more than 600 majestic acres of vineyards and olive trees and explore the Antica Caves where the estate wines are aged. Continue to the Antica “cucina” tasting room and enjoy a seated tasting of Antica’s estate wines paired with locally inspired culinary delights.  Although Antica is known for their single vineyard estate grown Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, you will also taste their collection of limited production estate wines - Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Pinot Noir - which deliciously convey the family’s Tuscan heritage now continued in Napa Valley. 

von Strasser Winery (Calistoga)
Enjoy a private tour and tasting for two at von Strasser Winery on the Silverado Trail in Calistoga. With his vineyard and winery in the Valley's warmer and most northern region, Rudy von Strasser focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varietals with a few surprises. Rudy -- a UC Davis graduate -- was the first American winemaking intern at the renowned Chateau Lafite Rothschild in Bordeaux. On his return to Napa he worked at several wineries before founding his vineyard and winery in 1990. The von Strasser Winery produces wines full of mountain Cabernet intensity with the finesse of the finest Bordeaux. Your private tour of the winery features a unique opportunity to sample an array of award-winning von Strasser wines paired with artisan chocolates.
