Description

Take the Napa exit from the fast lane and enjoy a world-class weekend in beautiful wine country.  


St. Helena residents, wine enthusiasts and Fabulous Archer parents, Martha and Ron Doornink, will host four lucky high bidders for a truly priceless St. Helena insider weekend. Your fabulous trip is from Friday, October 14 through Sunday, October 16, 2011 -- the right time to capture a peak "crush" experience. 


Your get-away begins Friday morning as you will be whisked away on a private jet donated by DREAMLINE AVIATION to the Napa airport, where your car will be awaiting you after your delightful 58-minute flight.  After a scenic drive thru the valley (smell that harvest air!) to Meadowood Resort, drop your belongings, relax and head down the hill to The Napa Reserve, the members-only Bill Harlan wine country club.  Gather on the terrace for bocce, amazing wine and a tour of the Reserve's incredible biodynamic winery and caves. Experience a Napa-style dinner handpicked from the gardens, prepared by Meadowood top Chef Christopher Kostow and served at the Reserve....breath-taking!  Saturday morning is all about relaxation - time to exhale and enjoy the workout facility and treatments of The Meadowood Spa, where you will be in the hands of the best massage therapists on the planet.  After enjoying an al fresco pool-side lunch, you'll head out and up to a fabulous tour of private hillside cult cab vintner, OVID.  Keep an eye open for Michel Roland, as you'll enjoy an unforgettable tasting in OVID's Pritchard Hill appellation winery and tasting room that overlooks the entire valley.  Saturday night, Martha and Ron will host you to a vineyard BBQ at their St. Helena farmhouse, surrounded by local winemakers whose names you are bound to know, whose wine you will thrill to drink right along with them, and whose best bottles you'll be taking home!  Sunday morning we invite you to make the day your very own.  Bike into town for coffee and pastries at Model Bakery, or enjoy a shopping idyll to discover charming St. Helena.  Try hot air ballooning for the adventurous, or a game of golf, tennis or croquet at Meadowood regulation courses.  Hike among the vines, or simply relax poolside and breathe it all in.  You can follow your heart's desire, and refeshed and refueled, you'll be whisked away in your private jet for a late afternoon return to real life.
