La Petite Maison Private Cottage (Napa)

Enjoy a 3-night stay in the Provencal-themed 1-bedroom La Petite Maison private cottage on the Vineyard Estate grounds. This charming cottage has a kitchen, den, full bathroom, bedroom with queen bed, a small den with trundle bed and a private fenced patio adjacent to the vineyard. Surrender to the beauty of the surrounding vineyards, lavender fields and hillside views. Watch the morning hot air balloons drift overhead, stroll through the vineyards or lounge in the privacy of your patio. You are just minutes from Yountville and Highway 29, so you can explore area wineries and sights during the day and return home to celebrate the evening sunset with a glass of Gabrielle Collection Napa Valley Cabernet on the patio by the fountain or settle in front of the cozy creek stone fireplace. Limited availability weekends in September and October.

O’Connell Family Winery & Vineyard Estate (Napa)

The winery host will welcome your party of two to this private vineyard estate with wine in hand for your food-paired private tasting. Enjoy a gourmet Farmstead Panini picnic lunch by the pond, followed by the Deluxe Reserve & Library Tasting of small production boutique Cabernet Sauvignons paired with estate gourmet products. The winery is not open to the public, hosting invited guests only.

The extremely rare OCFV Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is only available to allocation mailing list customers. The Winning Bidder is assured a position on the mailing list for one vintage (can be extended based on availability).

A husband and wife vintner team, Gabrielle Leonhard O’Connell produces Gabrielle Collection, and Wayne O’Connell produces Pietro Family Cellars. The Gabrielle Collection is a series of small production, luxury Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons. The winemaker’s artistry is expressed in their balance, suppleness and distinction as Gabrielle brings the magic of the soil and sun into a glass of wine. Pietro Family Cellars produces classic varietals that retain grandfather Pietro’s style of European winemaking (a winemaker for 60 years) - minimal intervention to create wines that honor the soil and grape varietal. Drawing from the certified organic family estate vineyard and other Napa valley vineyards, where the climate and soil are best suited to produce each varietal perfectly, Gabrielle & Wayne create wines with richness, complexity and elegance. Estate farm-to-table products including olive oils, handcrafted sea salts, and aromatic lavender are also part of the family’s portfolio.
