As if a weekend in Napa wasn’t already intoxicating... Travel the rails on the iconic Napa Valley Wine Train, float above the valley in a hot air balloon, savor gourmet dining, explore the world of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and soak in all that Napa Valley has to offer. From June 8 - 11, 2023, four legendary Master Sommeliers, wine aficionados, and world-class producers of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir will gather at The Meritage Resort and Spa. Partake in one-of-a-kind tastings, expert-led seminars, gourmet luncheons, opulent dinners, and some of the finest wine ever made available including the Catena Zapata White Stones Chardonnay and the Domaine Nico Le Paradis, which will be poured for just the second time at an event in the United States.
