Trip for 4 guests to Kistler Vineyards, Occidental, & SingleThread

3 days/2 nights

Wine to be taken home tonight:

Kistler Trenton Roadhouse Chardonnay 2012 (2 magnums)

Sonoma Valley

One of the first modern California cult wineries, Kistler is a small, family-established and privately owned winery dedicated to the vinification of world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir using oldworld Burgundian techniques applied to new-world vineyards. For over thirty years, Kistler has consistently bottled some of the finest new-world examples of these two varietals, available exclusively to a small mailing list of members.

Four guests will enjoy a two-night stay at SingleThread Farm Inn, located just off the square in Healdsburg, California. Tucked away on the second floor, the inn has just five thoughtfully appointed guestrooms, each intimately crafted to create a timeless, yet luxurious and contemporary feel.

Enjoy dinner at SingleThread Farm Restaurant, proclaimed as "The Biggest Opening of 2016" by Eater National almost a full year before it opened. Within just a year of opening, the restaurant was awarded two Michelin stars. Every minute of your dinner is curated with the utmost detail and imagination, taking you through an extraordinary journey of the senses.

The following night, delight in a private dinner and wine tasting at Kistler's newly-opened Trenton Roadhouse Tasting Barn. Take in the sweeping vineyard views while you enjoy a menu perfectly paired to complement Kistler's distinctive wines. This is one of the hottest tickets in Sonoma, one which requires a waiting list just to get on the waiting list. Now is your chance to skip the line and go straight to the table!

You will enjoy a tour of the winemaking facilities, Occidental's Bodega Ridge Vineyard, and a tasting of Bodega Ridge, Cuvée Catherine, and SWK Vineyard Pinot Noirs. Business class airline tickets to San Francisco and a private limousine luxuriously round out this trip.

To whet your palate in advance of your travels, you will take home two magnums of Kistler Trenton Roadhouse Chardonnay 2012 with you tonight.
