Tour Itinerary
Day 1
Welcome to Napa Valley. Today is the first full day of wine tasting in this famous valley. We have carefully selected a list of what we believe are Napa’s “best” wineries for your day. Each location will have special tours and tastings reserved just for you. Today you will be chauffeured to four wineries and you will enjoy a wine lunch at a selected location. This evening we have made dinner reservations at the renowned “French Laundry.”
Day 2
You’re on top of the world with an early morning balloon ride.  See the valley and even the California coastline from an aerial view in your private balloon.
Following your ride, enjoy a gourmet champagne breakfast in a beautiful vineyard setting. Your afternoon is available for more wine tasting. Aberge Du Soliel is our recommendation for your evening meal.
Day 3
Wine knowledge is the focus for today, with a wine production and vineyard tour. Enjoy a deluxe cheese platter with other savory treats for lunch today. Continue on for more tasting after lunch, or choose a cooking class on foods from pasta to pas-tries. Tonight you will dine at the “Wine Spectators Greystone Restaurant,” at an actual campus of the “Culinary Institute of American,” in St. Helena (California).
Day 4
How about a morning of shopping, where the sky is your limit. Collect art or antiques at one of the many fine Napa Valley galleries. Find a variety of specialty shops, and over-the-edge boutiques. Lunch will be a treat that you will not forget. Dive into a burger that has been voted #2 in all of the San Francisco greater Bay Area. Don’t forget to sample the olive oils and chocolates you will find along the way. Wine tasting is still on the list of activities. Shopping does make one hungry, so tonight you will board the famous “Wine Train” for a sunset dinner through the Napa Valley.
Day 5
Today will be a day you will never forget. You will receive a passport that will allow you into a famous personality’s property and winery. Select from a list of many educational tours, tastings, and wine seminars, that will complete your day.
Lunch will be served at this amazing winery. Enjoy chocolate, with a glass of wine while sitting by a replica of the Luxemburg Gardens in Paris. Dinner reservations wait you at “Bistro Don Giovanni.”
Day 6
Spend today visiting some surrounding attractions.  Pick up your box lunch or enjoy lunch at a restaurant of you choice. We will provide transportation for your adventures. The day can include an African safari, Old Faithful Geyser, “Copia,” or many more activities for you to choose from. If you would like to hike or ride a bike, we can bring all the necessary equipment with us. We will be sure to stop at a winery or two along the way. Dinner tonight is at “La Toque.”
Day 7
You decide on the day! Enjoy the surroundings of your resort, or take the day for more wine tasting or shopping. Your every wish is our command. We have planned a very special going away dinner bash for you this evening. The rest is a complete surprise, but guaranteed to be an evening you will never forget!
