5 Venues On New Historic Wineries Tour

Five icononic Napa Valley wineries are scheduled to be on the Napa Valley Historic Wineries Tour March 21-22.

These wineries are the work of Hamden W. McIntyre, credited with designing the first gravity-feed wineries in the Valley.

Highlights include wine tastings and tours at all locations and unique dining experiences. There will also be a special visit to Rutherford House, Beaulieu’s grand Craftsman residence, which is being opened especially for this tour.  

Lunch will be provided by two of the Valley’s renowned chefs. Chef Christopher Kostow, with three Michelin stars, a rare four stars from the San Francisco Chronicle, and one of Food & Wine magazine's Best New Chefs, will host diners at luxury resort Meadowood Napa Valley.
