Tour Vin’s October Trip to Napa Valley

Published on: August 13th, 2013

With six wine loving, foodie guests (three couples) in tow, my wife and I are hosting a Napa Valley vacation trip to visit wineries and famous restaurants that  have something for everyone. We created this trip based on the wishes and desires of our guests, and to assure there would be amazing memories to talk about upon returning home.

Here is a sampling of the itinerary:

Wine Tasting –

* Atop Pritchard Hill, our guests will enjoy a single vineyard wine tasting overlooking the valley. If it’s a clear day, we will be able to see all the way to the San Francisco Bay.

* Three boutique wineries not known to many (we at Tour Vin have personally experienced these wines) will be toured so our guests can also boast sampling these awesome wines.

* A wine tasting/picnic is set up at a well-known winery in St. Helena, which overlooks a water pond surrounded by a beautiful garden.

Did I mention the cave tour, which includes a 5×5 wine and food tasting (five wines from five different AVA’s, paired with chef-prepared appetizers)?

Dining –
Our guests indicated they enjoy many different cuisines, so here is what we’ve lined up:

* A French bistro for dinner

* A Wine Spectator award-winning restaurant known for California cuisine

* A farm to table restaurant located in a famous resort in Carneros for lunch

* An Italian bistro

Hotel –
Our guests indicated they want to stay somewhere “hip and new,” so we will be staying in Yountville. Can you guess where?

Other Activities –
We’ve put together a few other activities to round out the trip:

* After dinner, we will be visiting a well-known wine bar in downtown Napa. The bar is known for their wines, of course, as well as their hospitality and creative nightly events.

* We will take time to go shopping in Yountville and St. Helena, as well as to explore the Ox Bow Marketplace, known for their food, wine, and high-quality produce and meats.

Check back with us after October and read what our guests thought of their Napa Valley vacation! It’s not too late to participate in the Napa Valley activities during The Crush, so don’t wait!

Cheers!
