Immerse yourself in three outstanding boutique wineries and experience the riches that come from Napa Valley.

With a desire to produce a singular Cabernet Sauvignon from some of the highest-quality vineyards in Napa Valley, Cardinale has spent over thirty years working to create the most distinctive and powerful Cabernet Sauvignons. You'll journey into the heart of this winery during your tour and tasting, and discover how University of Illinois football defensive lineman, as well as President and Chairman of the Napa Valley Youth Symphony, Chris Carpenter, has led Cardinale to flourish.

Next on your tour of Napa Valley, you'll learn the rich history of Far Niente, a label whose roots date back to 1885. Over the last 130 years, Far Niente has become the embodiment of their Italian namesake "without a care," striving to "recapture a bygone era when life was indeed without a care." All your cares will melt away as you have lunch with Far Niente executives and friends at a luncheon where you'll have a stunning three-course menu paired with current and aged vintages from the Far Niente caves.

Last but not least, visit Quintessa, a world-class wine estate located in the heart of Rutherford, Napa Valley. Your private estate tasting will begin with a scenic overlook of the property, with sweeping views of vineyards, followed by a guided tour through the Quintessa winery and caves to learn more about their winemaking process. The experience culminates in a relaxed sit-down tasting at a private table showcasing the current release of 2015 Quintessa as well as library vintages.

Note: Far Niente tour, tasting and luncheon must occur on a mutually agreed upon Friday between June and September 2018, scheduled at least four weeks in advance. Expires on October 31, 2018. Airfare and hotel not included.

Please note that your visit to Cardinale will also include a lunch at the Cardinale Estate
