Description

Fly to California in comfort and luxury with two Delta Air Lines First Class round trip tickets.


Begin your wine tour in Sonoma with a two-night stay in Landmark's Guest Suite or Cottage. Your stay includes a tasting at the winery, a light breakfast and a bottle of Overlook Chardonnay in your room.


Next stop in Sonoma: Hanzell Vineyards.  Two guests will walk through the oldest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines in the New World, tour the private grounds where Ambassador Zellerbach once entertained, enjoy a private seated tasting of Hanzell Vineyards Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and stay overnight in the estate guest cottage.


Continue your wine tour in Napa with a two night stay double occupancy in a Rancho Suite at Rancho Caymus. The room features a wood burning fireplace, private bath, private patio and complimentary breakfast.


While in Napa, enjoy a Private Tour and Tasting for Four People at Rubicon Estate. Mr. Larry Stone, General Manager and highly acclaimed Master Sommelier will be your private guide as you explore the rich heritage of Rubicon Estate, originally founded in 1880 as Inglenook Estate by Captain Gustave Niebaum.


Landmark's beautifully appointed guest cottage overlooks our vineyard. The lovely one bedroom cottage has a full kitchen, a sunny sitting room, bath and laundry facilities. The elegantly decorated Guest Suite has an unparalleled view of Sugarloaf Ridge and Hood Mountain. The Guest Suite is furnished with twin beds and features a private patio and a romantic fireplace.


Hanzell's original 6 acre vineyard has grown to 42 acres today, allowing Hanzell to produce 6,000 cases annually: three-quarters Chardonnay and one-quarter Pinot Noir. Through five decades Hanzell has pursued empirical winemaking and established traditions on which great cellar-worthy winemaking is predicated. The Hanzell wines honor Ambassador Zellerbach's vision and carry forward one of the greatest legacies of winemaking in the New World.


At the Rancho Caymus Inn, each of our rooms offers spacious hand-carved walnut beds, wrought iron lamps, and distinctive handmade furnishings. Ceiling beams are 100-year-old oak, while the timbers that make up the room's surroundings are black walnut, fir, and redwood. Each suite offers soft wool rugs, hand dyed and woven by the Salazaca and Otavalon Indians of Ecuador. Sink basins are unique hand-thrown stoneware.


Rubicon: As one of the oldest wineries in the Napa Valley, our Historical Chateau Tour focuses on the history of the Estate and the families who have brought it to prominence.  You will be escorted through our unique property and Captain Neibaum's original fermentation room and cellars before concluding with a premium wine tasting in one of our private cellars.
