TOURS
Whether you're a novice or an accomplished wine connoisseur this tour
will entice, entertain and educate you. Let our chauffer/tour guides
take you to various wineries in two counties, Napa and Sonoma,
intertwined by a history that revolves around the grape. In addition to
sampling award-winning wines, you can follow the course of the grape
from the vineyard through the cellar to the finished product and learn
about the many aromas, the basic components of wine and the important
role they play in creating a balanced wine.
Discover wine country
in the Napa Valley, a seductive land that is both cosmopolitan and
quaint. Despite being a destination that attracts visitors from around
the world, Napa, with it's picturesque scenery, unforgettable culinary
treasures, cultural offerings and premium wines, has not lost its charm.
In the Napa Valley visit historical Robert Mondavi Winery and unravel

fermentation processes and barrel aging or offer a sensory evaluation of
wine. The Wine Discovery Center at St. Supery takes you on a fascinating
journey that covers every aspect of winemaking, from soil, to bottle

of Estate Grown wines and the winemaking practices that support their
commitment to a premium handcrafted product. Indulge in a tasting where
you can compare and contrast their current vintages and tour their
estate property.
Napa County may have
been the first to acquire international recognition for its wines,
but wine country's first wine came from Sonoma County. Sonoma County
history dates back to the 1820's when Franciscan monks first planted
grapes for the Missions constructed in California. Today world-class
wines are produced by many wineries throughout the region. In beautiful
Sonoma Valley stop at Benziger Winery where you can take part in a tram
tour that illustrates the practices of their trademarked site-specific
farming and shows you various pruning and trellising methods used to
manage healthy and productive grapevines. At Chateau St. Jean you can
learn firsthand the characteristics of three different vineyard
designate pinot noirs and then, according to your taste, blend them
together creating your perfect wine. Take part in an informative food
and wine seminar at St. Francis Winery that joins their award winning
wines with the culinary delights of their chef.
