Under the Radar...for Now

Let us introduce you to the most incredible wineries you’ve never heard of... small, artisanal operations that fly under the radar of 99% of wine drinkers. These are the world-class labels you’ll never find back home, made by passionate artists with stories to spare.

Legends of Sabrage

Grab a saber and get certified in the fine art of sabrage... the ultimate party trick. Our pros will share the secrets to swift, spectacular (and safe!) sabering and walk you through the process with an authentic Hussar blade. Cue smartphone video!

The Collector

Looking to invest in the best of the best? Stock your cellar with the latest labels from 100-point winemakers? Track down library vintages for special birthdays and anniversaries? Let our connections open the right doors for you, and make that fantasy collection a reality.

Mind Bending Wine Blending

Indulge your winemaker fantasy for the day, and learn the ins and outs of blending red wine from a professional. By the end of the day, you’ll have serious bragging rights, your very own custom cuvée blended to your exacting specifications, and probably some very blue teeth.

the cool kids

Want to hang with the new Napa? We can set you up at wine country’s hippest young wineries for a day of ultra-chill tastings, great music, and maybe a little skin contact. (If you’re curious about orange wine, this tour’s for you!)

Doyennes of Wine

Meet the marvelous women at the helm of Napa Valley’s wine business. Mix and mingle with a select group of talented and inspiring female leaders for incredible stories, unmatched industry networking and (of course) plenty of delicious wine.

Dust on your boots

As the saying goes, great wine begins in the vineyard. Get up close and personal with Napa Valley’s world-class vineyards, talking soils, geology, rootstock, clonal selection, trellising, irrigation, canopy management, and more as you walk the vine rows. This is the agricultural reality of wine country... and the farmers who make it all happen.

Napa Valley Titans

Visit the iconic properties that put Napa Valley on the world wine map… historic pre-Prohibition stone structures, industry trailblazers from the 1960s and ‘70s, and more recent cult classics that shaped the world’s view of California wine. The most famous, significant, and revered wineries in the country are all right here in our backyard.

Turn up the Love

Wine country truly is the perfect setting for proposals, honeymoons, anniversaries, and getaways any time of year. Let us help turn the romance up to 11 with private hot air balloons, sunset toasts on the beach, in-house dinners à deux, secluded walks, and anything else you want to surprise your partner with. We’ve got creative ideas to help, and the connections to pull it off.
