Tour Vin – Virtual Tours

Published on: April 29th, 2020

Visiting Napa Valley right now is not in the cards, but … how about bringing Napa food and wine experiences to the comfort of your home? Many of the Napa’s wineries have created online events that can be enjoyed by you and your friends! Here are a few examples:

• Krupp Brothers Winery has scheduled four virtual wine tasting experiences in May, which will be hosted by their own wine educators. To join the online experiences, simply purchase two or three bottles of wine, or break out wines you already have. Gather your friends via Zoom and experience the tasting event together!

• Some wineries are offering online cooking classes where you can prepare fabulous foods while being instructed by a professional chef. As an example, Ackerman Family Vineyards is hosting a baking class to show participants how to bake a Meyer lemon meringue pie. All that is needed is an internet connection, a computer or tablet, and a personalized pie kit or recipe card provided by the winery.

• If you can’t visit a winery’s mountaintop estate, we know a winery that will bring the mountain to you! Acumen Winery is now hosting virtual wine tastings from their estate atop Atlas Peak. They call it “Sneak Peak” because they will take guests on a virtual tour of the vineyard property while tasting current and library releases. This special experience is available twice a week. Make sure to order the wines at least 10 days in advance of the tasting event.

Right now, we are all experiencing an unusual and difficult time, but there are ways to stay connected, as well as enjoy great food and wine. If you have any questions about these types of events, do not hesitate to contact us for more information!

Cheers, and stay safe!
