Napa: From Everyday to Icon

What makes one Napa wine a weeknight staple and another a $200 collector’s bottle?

This guided tasting explores that question through six thoughtfully selected wines — from a fresh Napa white to a lineup of Cabernet Sauvignons that showcase a full spectrum of style and structure. Alongside curated pairings and guided discussion, guests will discover how place, craftsmanship, and perception shape both flavor and value in one of the world’s most iconic wine regions.

  • This tasting begins with a bright, refreshing white wine that showcases Napa’s lighter side. From there, we move through five carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignons — each one representing a different price point, from approachable everyday bottles to collector-level icons. Together, they reveal how structure, site, winemaking choices, and perception influence not just style, but value.
    Expect a range of aromas, textures, and complexity — with plenty of space to explore your own preferences along the way.

  • Each wine is served with a small, curated plate designed to highlight its structure and flavor. These bites are selected to complement the tasting — think artisan cheeses, charcuterie, seasonal fruits, or savory accents — all prepared in advance and elegantly plated. The goal is to elevate the wine without overshadowing it.

  • Once your date is confirmed and deposit received, we handle the rest. The experience is hosted in your home, office, or private space — wherever you'd like to gather. We arrive early to set the table, bring all necessary glassware and materials, and guide your group through a relaxed, engaging 90-minute tasting.
    Expect a paced, seated experience with space for conversation, questions, and connection — not a lecture. Everything is designed to feel both elevated and welcoming.
