Napa and Sonoma Valleys: A Culinary Exploration of California's Legendary Wine Country
Napa and Sonoma Valleys: A Culinary Exploration of California's Legendary Wine Country
October 19 - 22, 2023
3 Nights
In 1976, Napa Valley changed the world of wine when it beat France in the Judgment of Paris blind tasting. Ever since, the region has been luring oenophiles and leisure travelers alike with its rolling vineyards and Mediterranean climate. While most visitors follow the same vineyard circuit, we’ll taste the latest vintages with experimental vintners, learn oyster harvesting, and dine with the region’s most celebrated chefs. Stay at Sonoma Valley’s Madrona hotel, a hilltop Victorian manse with pool and mature gardens.
