Itinerary at a Glance
DAY 1: Arrive San Francisco, California
Arrive in San Francisco, where you meet your private driver for your transfer to Napa Valley.
DAY 2: Napa Valley | Farm to Table
In the early afternoon, meet your private driver-guide for transfer to Peju Winery, where you join your host at the winery kitchen or at their al fresco wood-fired brick oven for a shared, hands-on cooking lesson. Learn special tips for making delicious farm-to-table, wine-country inspired meal, and for pairing your dish with the perfect varietal.
DAY 3: Napa Valley | Guided Wine Journey
Internationally known as one of the world’s greatest wine regions, Napa Valley has more than 45,000 acres of picturesque rolling hills planted with vineyards year-round, with several hundred wineries calling the valley home. Explore a carefully chosen few with your guide during a day of specially arranged private tastings at three outstanding wineries, selected to match your preferences and palate.
DAY 4: Sonoma Valley | A Day of Viticulture
