Description

Need a great escape for you and your significant other?
Look no further...with this fabulous Napa Escape Package.

You and your loved one will enjoy the beautiful accommodations at Chateau de Vie Bed & Breakfast, a hot air balloon ride for two, a delicious meal at The Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant, a Magnum of Carver Sutro 2003 Petite Syrah, and a winery tour and tasting at Peju Winery.

A One (1) Night Stay at Chateau de Vie Bed and Breakfast & Vineyards will have you rested in no time. Chateau de Vie is a classic B&B in every sense of the word. You'll experience formal gardens of lavendar, topiarys and quiet sophistication. Built with old European charm and influenced by California's unique heritage and the Napa Valley's beauty, Chateau de Vie offers comfortable king and queen size beds, the finest in linens, over-sized hooded robes, L'Occitane bath amenities, and a full seasonal breakfast when you awake. Walk out onto the deck to take in the astounding view of Mt. Saint Helena and acres of Napa Valley's finest. Soak in the vineyard spa or pool, and end the day deaming about re-entering the world with a renewed sense of being.

But before you do, you and your guest will enjoy a dream come true with this Hot Air Balloon Ride for Two in Napa Valley. You will gently ascend and float between 500 and 1,000 feet above the valley floor, with astonishing views, wherever the wind takes you for about an hour. On landing, you will celebrate with a champagne or fruit juice toast, an old European tradition.

You will also enjoy a Lunch or Dinner for two at The Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant in St. Helena with this $100 gift card. Greystone's terraced gardens of herbs, vegetables, and flowers provide the perfect introduction to the vibrant colors, enticing aromas, and bustling activity of Napa Valley. Local, seasonal ingredients are the inspiration for the cuisine, which features California's bounty from the land and sea. The dazzling restaurant space, created by noted designer Adam Tihany, offers a view of the chefs at work from every hand-crafted table. What better place to experience the mingling of food, wine, and friends than The Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant, in the very heart of California's wine country.

Also included is a wonderful Magnum of Carver Sutro 2003 Petite Sirah from the Palisades Vineyard in Napa Valley. Palisades Vineyard sits in a small riparian valley northeast of Calistoga in the northern end of the Napa Valley. It is bisected by an occasionally torrential Horns Creek, and is blessed with the kind of cobbley loam soil and very hot summers that are perfectly suited for growing Petite Sirah and other Rhone style wines. Carver Sutro is known for their Petite Sirah, with several vintages having gone to The French Laundry, Chez Panisse, Gary Danko's, Terra, Rubicon, Valentino's and 25 other wonderful California restaurants with discriminating wine lists.

Finally, you and your guest will enjoy a winery tour and tasting at Peju Province Winery. Peju Province Winery, located in Rutherford in the heart of the Napa Valley, California, is a family-owned boutique winery. They offer wine tasting of their award-winning red and white wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and the family's specialty wine, Provence, a proprietary blend of reds and whites. Travelers to the Napa Valley will enjoy their breathtaking tasting room, along with their beautiful gardens and unique food and wine pairing experience.
