Harvest to offer backdrop for unique immersion into the wine, food and people of Napa Valley

The Napa Valley Vintners (NVV) has launched Napa Valley Experience, a new immersion into the wine and food of Napa Valley to run September 7-10, 2014, during the wine grape harvest. Limited to just 24 guests, Napa Valley Experience will offer an insider’s perspective on the unique quality of life in one of America’s most intimately scenic spots.

Napa Valley Experience will bring guests behind the scenes of Napa Valley’s renowned vineyards, where they will connect with some of the valley’s most innovative vintners and will savor meals crafted especially for these singular occasions. The program includes three nights of accommodations at Meadowood Napa Valley, a Relais & Château property nestled on two hundred and fifty private acres of one of Napa Valley’s most beautiful natural settings.

A snapshot of Napa Valley Experience includes:
  • First evening wine reception and dinner at the iconic Far Niente winery
  • A unique conversation with three generations of the Mondavi family, who will share their stories of their roots in Napa Valley
  • A garden to table exploration and meal at Michael Chiarello’s Bottega restaurant
  • An unrivaled 1,000-point tasting of 10 Napa Valley wines that have each earned a perfect score from The Wine Advocate
  • A small-party, vintner hosted dinner
  • Vineyard harvest experience
  • Private wine blending session at either Opus One, HALL or Silverado Vineyards, with tastings of rare Premiere Napa Valley wines
  • Harvest party at Chappellet Vineyard
  • “Napa Legends” wine tasting at the home of Margrit Mondavi, guided by Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson

The cost of Napa Valley Experience is $6,000 per person or $10,000 per couple (double occupancy) and the program is limited to 24 wine enthusiasts. More details can be found atnapavintners.com/experience/.
