Item Description

Two Nights in San Francisco at The Fairmont San Francisco and Two Nights in Napa at a Stylish and Sophisticated Private Guest House for Two, Including a Private Wine Tour of B Cellars Winery and a Private Tasting with the Winemakers and Proprietors of J Gregory (Land Only)

Get a taste for the best of Northern California during your stays in lively San Francisco and the serene Napa Valley. The Fairmont San Francisco puts you in the middle of metropolitan excitement and is world-renowned for offering an awe-inspiring view of the city and the bay from high atop Nob Hill. Centrally located, The Fairmont San Francisco luxury hotel is a short cable car trip from bustling Downtown, Financial District, Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf. The Fairmont San Francisco hotel is located at the only spot in San Francisco where each of the City's cable car lines meet. Indulge in a leisurely stroll across the Golden Gate Bridge, or along the city's streets to admire its unique architecture. Chinatown is a mere two blocks from the hotel, and is filled with exotic shops, restaurants, herbalists, produce markets and temples.

While in Napa Valley, you will stay at a stylish and sophisticated private guest house, which overlooks mountains, vineyards and a picturesque 100 year old barn. The guest houses are located in the heart of Napa Valley at the mid-Northern end of the valley, at the base of Howell Mountain, 5 mins from St. Helena and 10 mins from Calistoga. They are all furnished with antiques and collected art and have high end finishes.

Greeted in the B Cellars Hospitality House, you will be led by a private wine guide to tour the culinary garden, state-of-the art winemaking facility, and wine caves, all while enjoying a glass of their Blend 23; a seductive blend of chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and viognier. Following the exploration, you will be seated for a tasting of B Cellars Flagship blended and limited-production wines. Each tasting is accompanied by an artfully produced, seasonal "B-Bite", which is created to perfectly pair with each wine in the tasting.

At their private tasting room in Napa, owners Mark and Kandice Jessup, or a close family member, will personally lead you through a tasting of their wines. Not only is Mark the owner; he’s the wine maker. For 3 decades, he has worked closely and fostered relationships with a handful of select Napa Valley growers. Mark understands that outstanding fruit is the foundation of exceptional wines and believes these grower relationships allow him to ‘pick and choose’ from a variety of appellation personalities. The resulting wines are at once classic—and contemporary.

This is truly an exclusive and unique vacation experience in Napa Valley that will be remembered for a life time!
