Description
A memorable week for those who agree that appreciating fine wines is a commitment to being a lifelong student of the grape. A lucky couple will tour three remarkable vineyards, with an indulgent two night stay at each.
Terra Valentine takes winemaking to a new level...about 2,100 feet above the Napa Valley! This winery is blessed with its Spring Mountain location which, while presenting the challenges of mountainside winemaking, yields a distinguished wine of intense flavor and color. The winery's goal is an exceptional cabernet sauvignon, which they achieve by balancing state of the art technology with respect for the traditional labors of winemaking. Mountain fruit, reined in properly, renders a wine with intensity that is elegant and approachable. Remain on Spring Mountain and stay at the "Love Shack" owned by the Robert Keenan Winery. Nestled among the Merlot grapes high in the vineyard less than 100 yards from the winery, this vineyard cottage is a great place to sit back, kick off your shoes and enjoy spectacular vistas while tasting some of Napa's best wines.
Markham Vineyard pulls from four strategically located areas in Napa's premier growing regions to collect grapes from several microclimates. This is the key, along with experience and knowledge, to the rich balanced taste of the award winning wines they produce.
