Item Description

Test your wine tasting palate in Napa and Sonoma, CA! Enjoy a tour and tasting for four (4) guests at 2 separate wineries: Black Stallion Estate Winery and Cline Family Cellars.

Wine tasting is the sensory examination and evaluation of wine. While the practice of wine tasting is as ancient as its production, formal (professional) and information tastings are used to describe the range of perceived flavors, aromas, personal appreciation, and general characteristics of a wine. 

Black Stallion Estate Winery (Napa, CA) - Beginning with a vineyard planted, in Manteca, CA, Gaspare Indelicato brought his long family history of grapegrowing to America from Sicily. Since then his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have upheld the legacy of the estate honoring the world-class terroir of Napa Valley, the pioneering spirit of the Silverado Trail, and the Indelicato family’s warm hospitality and generations of wine expertise.

• Private Tour and Tasting for Four (4) Guests

Cline Family Cellars (Sonoma, CA) - Starting in Oakley, CA, Fred Cline made his first vintages from original plantings of Mourvedre, Zinfandel, and Carignane, some of which dated back to the 1880's. Moving to Sonoma County, the Cline Family now has vineyards dedicated to Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne; and expanded to include more classic varieties like Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Chardonnay.

Also included with this package is a bottle of Napa Cellars 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2016 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon brims with ripe, concentrated aromas of black currant and blackberry with a roasted coffee and mocha background, underscored by threads of faint floral notes. This wine’s lush core of bright blackberry, cherry, and red currant are complemented by expressive toasted notes on the mid-palate. The finish is full of lingering flavors of vanilla, caramel, toffee, tobacco, and spice. Firmly textured tannins with fresh, balanced acidity make this Cabernet the perfect pairing for port braised beef short ribs topped with mint leaves or salmon with red wine sauce.
