Tournesol wine estate is located in the Coombsville AVA of Napa Valley. Bob and Anne Arns have dreamed of owning a small vineyard estate since their wedding over 40 years ago. With a keen interest in wine and inspiration pulled from the infamous "Judgement of Paris," the Arns planted 15 acres of Bordeaux varietals on a gently sloping bench 300 feet above the valley floor. Tournesol vines enjoy perfect exposure to the sun with cool breezes from the San Francisco Bay providing an ideal growing climate. Nurtured by winemaker Ken Bernards since the first harvest in 2002, Tournesol continues to produce beautiful wines that express exotic personality and approachability. Ken is also the owner and winemaker of Carneros-based Ancien, a winery focused on the French artisanal tradition of in-barrel aging.
Two couples are invited to join the team at Tournesol for a VIP lunch, tour, and tasting before joining Ken and his team at Ancien for a tour and tasting of some of the region's finest wines.
