Enjoy a unique opportunity to visit a trio of wineries that are not open to the public and sample wines made by the finest winemakers in Napa Valley: Heidi Barrett, Christopher Carpenter, and Celia Welch. These three winemakers combined have earned several perfect 100-point scores from the major wine critics. You and your guest will receive a private tour at each winery and taste many wines not available to the general public. Your private VIP tours include a private chauffeur, three-night stay at the Westin Verasa, and airfare for two.

All three winemakers have signed a barrelhead for you. This piece of winemaking history will look spectacular hanging in your home cellar!

· Fantesca Estate & Winery (Winemaker Heidi Barrett)

· Cardinale Estate (Winemaker Christopher Carpenter)

Fantesca Estate & Winery: Not open to the public, Fantesca encompasses 53 acres in Napa's Spring Mountain District above the historic town of St. Helena. Their cross-shaped wine cave, rumored to be an abandoned silver mine, stretches through Spring Mountain. Winemaker Heidi Peterson Barrett is the only winemaker in the world to receive five perfect 100-point scores from major wine writers.

Cardinale Estate: As you tour their hilltop facility, your host will point out the mountain appellations that come together to create their limited production, Cardinale. Experience a tasting of their current release as well as a library vintage. A selection of artisan small bites will be provided to complement the wines. Winemaker Christopher Carpenter has earned a reputation for taming Napa's mountain tannins and creating legendary Cabernet Sauvignon.

Corra Wines: Corra is not open to the public, but you will experience private access to taste Corra Cabernet Sauvignon, produced in miniscule quantities each year. Strongly favorable reviews of Corra have sent it onto the radar screens of wine collectors both nationally and internationally. Winemaker Celia Welch has been named Food & Wine Magazine's Winemaker of the Year.

Blackout dates: Friday and Saturday nights in September and October; Memorial and Labor Day weekends, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's weeks, special events including NASCAR races, Napa Jazz Getaway, Live in the Vineyard, and Napa Valley Film Festival. Airfare must be booked within one year from the date of purchase.
