This lot includes a pre-paid membership to GrapeSeed, a new wine company. With your pre-paid membership, you can access small-lot, artisan wines reserved for “Partners” (aka members) of GrapeSeed. GrapeSeed’s mission is to support artisan winemakers who want to stay small. Their mission is based on a passion for the kind of artisan winemaking too often lost in an increasingly corporate landscape. Instead of one winemaker, they are a Collective of Winemakers, each acknowledged by the leading critics as masters of their craft.

GrapeSeed gives artisan winemakers the freedom to pursue their dream projects, such as highlighting exceptional regions, outstanding vineyards and even tiny vineyard blocks with production as low as 25 cases. In return, members get access to exceptional small-production wines crafted exclusively for GrapeSeed.

GrapeSeed is a community that directly connects wine lovers to the finest winemakers around—individuals whose wines have consistently received the highest marks from the leading critics, including Robert Parker and Wine Spectator. In addition to one-of-a-kind wines, GrapeSeed Partners also have behind-the-scenes access to wine country. Through VIP access, unique wine country experiences and exclusive events, GrapeSeed offers a dynamic interaction between wine lovers and award winning artisan winemakers.

Your lot includes the following:

·        $500 pre-paid Wine Fund. Covers cost of wine, taxes and shipping, as applicable.

·        Complimentary tasting for four at GrapeSeed’s new home, inside the Paul Mahder Art Gallery in Healdsburg.

·        Invitations to GrapeSeed Partner events.

You will also be treated to a three night stay in a stunning Vineyard View Guestroom with daily continental breakfast for two at Las Alcobas, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Napa Valley.

This one-of-a-kind, Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star resort occupies a stately, Georgian-style farmhouse originally constructed in 1907 and situated adjacent to the storied Beringer vineyards, and offers guests a curated travel experience in the heart of California's Wine Country.

You’ll stay in a Deluxe King (or two Queens) with deck. The Deluxe King with Deck is a gracious room of over 550 square feet, looking directly at the vineyards beyond. Guest rooms house a King bed with Rivolta Carmingna linens, a 60” flatscreen TV, delicate soft throws and custom designed furnishings from Italian designer Casa Zeta. Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors open to a terrace with soft seating, a fire pit, privacy curtains, and sweeping vineyard and mountain views. Beautifully designed marble and stone bathrooms offer soaking tub and a glass enclosed Italian tile rain shower, separate washroom with carved marble basin and vanity area.

You’ll experience a fabulous dinner for two with wine pairings at Acacia House by Chris Cosentino. Cosentino rose to fame as a winner of Top Chef Masters and competitor in The Next Iron Chef and Iron Chef America. Tempt your palate with unique, seasonally-driven offerings. This award-winning restaurant offers epicures an unforgettable culinary experience. The local, sustainable menu reflects the bounty of Napa Valley.

You’ll also indulge in a 60-minute Couples Massage at Las Alcobas’ atrio spa.
