What a way to wake up–get carried in a spectacular Hot Air Balloon! Your adventure begins at dawn, when the winds are gentle and the light from the morning sun makes the valley shine like a jewel.

Often referred to as a “valley within a valley,” the unique volcanic soil and microclimate of the Stags Leap District yields famously distinctive Cabernet wines that have been described as “textural hedonism.” And at barely one mile wide and just three miles long, the vineyards easily lend themselves to a day of casual exploration by bike. During your private guided bicycle tour, you’ll be led by a local, knowledgeable Tour Guide, who will lead you at a pace that’s designed for the casual “Cyclist”. You’ll pedal to two boutique wineries within the Stags Leap District. 

Pine Ridge Winery which was created in the purest classic Chateaus style. Here, Old World
traditions have fused with innovative viticulture and winemaking practices to create powerful yet elegant wines that exhibit the best characteristics of the area: rich texture, balanced tannins and fruit-forward flavors. Your exclusive experience here begins with an hors d’oeuvres reception, where you’ll sample two award-winning wines. Then, a stroll past rows of aging barrels leads to the Cabernet Cave Room where dramatic torch-like sconces, hurricane lamps and votive candles illuminate exposed rock walls and a magnificent Dale Chihuly sculpture. You will enjoy a delicious three-course feast paired with elegant Pine Ridge wines.

The Napa Valley is North America’s legendary wine capital from which hundreds of wineries
provide their ambrosia to discerning patrons. A few particular famed wineries set the
cornerstone from which this reputation was built. Today’s premium wine tour will include two stops at exclusive wineries that set the benchmark for fine quality, esteemed hospitality and an ultra premium experience. Your tour includes a private tour and tasting at the world renown
Silver Oak Cellars and a beautiful tasting at Sullivan Vineyards paired with a gourmet Wine
Country lunch.

In the evening enjoy dinner in a castle Tonight’s memorable feast will be at one of the most unique destinations west of Tuscany– Castello di Amorosa. Fourteen years (and $30 million) in the making, this winery is the brain-child of Darryl Sattui. The 100+ rooms were built from stones, bricks, lighting, and other elements that were carefully removed from existing structures in Italy, shipped to Napa and re-assembled by Italian stone-smiths, aided by a local crew. The entire evening combines Italian history and Napa winemaking, leaving you with a most unique story to bring home…. Guests are greeted by medieval trumpeters or battling swordsmen as they enter the castle gates, across the drawbridge. They enter into a world of authentic castle.
