One of the most notable wines to be poured is a Chateau Montelena 1976 Chardonnay; its 1973 counterpart was ranked #1 in the 1976 Judgment of Paris. It was a win that stunned the wine establishment and placed the Napa Valley and entire California wine industry on the map.

Here’s a summary of what you will experience over two days – Friday 16th and Saturday 17th of November.

. Day One: Tasters will experience rare wines from founding wineries and wineries that led the post-Prohibition renaissance, such as Schramsberg, Stony Hill and Robert Mondavi.

. Day Two: Devoted to the new pioneers, the second day features vintages from the likes of Staglin Family and Harlan Estate vineyards. In addition, two of the Napa Valley’s legendary figures, Andy Beckstoffer and Heidi Peterson Barrett, will be honored with a comprehensive tasting of their signature wines, including cult favorite Screaming Eagle.

The Screaming Eagle estate is owned by Tony Bowden and Jean Phillips, one of Napa Valley’s leading real estate agents. With help from Heidi Barrett and Gustav Dalla Valle, the operation’s debut vintage became the extraordinary 1992 Cabernet Sauvignon. Many people feel it’s one of the greatest young Cabernets they have ever tasted.

The 1992 Screaming Eagle Wine has an opaque purple color. The wine is followed by a tantalizing nose of jammy blackcurrants and subtle toasty oak. The cabernet is intense, rich and creamy with elegant fruity flavors that linger in the mouth.

At a charity event named Auction Napa Valley 2008, a lot of six magnums of Screaming Eagle were sold for a whopping $500,000! That’s over $80,000 for a single bottle of 1992 Screaming Eagle Wine.

In addition to the Screaming Eagle Wine, the winning lot included a dinner at the winery. The lucky purchaser was Chase Bailey, an executive at Cisco Systems, in the San Francisco Bay Area.

No winery more thoroughly embodies the timeless appeal and seductive flavor of Napa Valley than Beringer Vineyards. Located in St. Helena California, it’s Napa’s benchmark producer since its establishment in 1876.

Beringer Vineyards is Napa Valley’s oldest continuously-operating winery. The winery is famous for its award winning white zinfandel wine, and currently makes many wines with grapes sourced from different regions.

In 1876, Jacob and Frederick Beringer founded Beringer Vineyards in the modern-day St. Helena AVA. This was the result of their realization that the soils in St Helena were very similar to those in the vineyards of their home- the Rhine Valley.

The Beringer Brothers financed the incredibly difficult task of carving caves in the hills behind their winery.

The winery offers several tours – from the shorter, more family-friendly tour of the winery and aging tunnels, to more extensive wine-tasting tours. In any of the offered tours, you’ll see history play out and learn about the fascinating process of making wine.

Wine-tasting is a must. Both the neophyte wine enthusiast as well as the experienced connoisseur will find a tasting suited for them. Tastings range from newer wines to reserve wines and can include food or cheese for more nuance. The taste relationship between wine and food is, after all, an important one.

What began as a fine California-french restaurant created by Claude Rouas, a leading San Francisco restaurateur has evolved into one of Americas most sought-after small luxury hotels and a perennial recipient of the hospitality industry’s highest honors.

Auberge Du Soleil opened in 1982 as Napa Valley’s first fine-dining restaurant and the vision of French – born Rouas who sought to recreate the sun-drenched ambiance of province in the California Wine Country.

Perched on the slope of Rutherford Hill overlooking Napa Valley, the Auberge quickly gained recognition as one of the leading restaurants in Northern California.  Not only for its superb cuisine, but also its spectacular views of the Napa Valley below.

In 1985, responding to guest demand, Rouas and partner Robert Harmon opened The Inn. A collection of sun and earth toned cottages housing 50 room and suites each with french doors opening out to a terrace and sweeping views of olive grooves and the vine- studded Valley.

The Auberges French-accented California style and soft-spoken Luxury Echo the character of Napa Valley – a place to savor the bounty of fine rood and wine and immerse oneself in an exquisite natural setting.

Since the inns opening, guests have been drawn to the Auberge for its privacy, tranquility and unmistakable romance.

With a sophisticated new design and acclaimed new chef, the restaurant continues to win international recognition. The Inn also recently introduced Spa Du Soleil, a retreat modeled after a centuries-old monastery.

Romance and all that it entails–escape, total privacy and the intimacy of having a beautiful spot to share–is an important part of the allure of Auberge Du Soleil.
